Lexis-Nexis Tutorial (new graphics in 2006)
Although the graphics have changed this is a good example of the type of tutorial I created for the Social Sciences Team of the University of Arizona Library. Spring 2002.

Stalking the Wily Ethnography (new graphics in 2006)
Another tutorial for the Social Sciences Team, this one was a collaboration with Librarian Olivia Olivares to create a self-test tutorial on identifying ethnographic materials in the library catalog. Spring 2002.

UA Library School Website
In the May of 2001, Atilla Vékony and I were commissioned to redesign and restructure the website of the School of Information Resources and Library Science at the University of Arizona. Although this site is almost 6 years old it is still in use.

Knowledge River website
A collaboration with Project Director Pat Tarin, Jose Cazares, Claudia Timman, Michele Saunders and Rick Fitzgerald.

When Books Burn
This was the internship project for my final semester at the University. It was an exhibit teaching about intellectual freedom and the 1933 Berlin book burnings, and ran from May 10 to July 10, 2001 in the UA Main Library's exhibit area. Our featured speakers at the opening were Gerda Weissmann Klein and Kurt Klein. In August and September of 2001, the exhibit was displayed in the Tucson-Pima Public Library's Main Library lobby. Created in the spring of 2001.

The Early Years of the Patagonia Public Library: 1957-1976
A history of Patagonia and its library, written for Dr. Seavey's class on the History of American Libraries. Footnote links don't work yet -- I am still working on this set of pages. Fall 1999.

Modified since I created them :
Government Documents website
My colleague Atifa Rawan asked me to redesign her extensive site of government documents resources. The new site now has consistent navigation, a clear structure, and a clean, quick-loading design. Spring 2002.

UA Library Guide to CIS Congressional Universe
This page was created to be a teaching and reference tool for librarians at the University of Arizona. Librarian Atifa Rawan provided the content and I developed the interface. Winter 2002.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at the UA Library
This set of pages was compiled from several different websites maintained by 3 different librarians. The project was to organize the existing resources into a cohesive unit. Spring 2002.

Geography Resources on the Internet (UA Library)
This set of pages aims to complement the library's subject guide to geography research. The project was to redesign and rethink a preexisting resource. Spring 2002.

Statistics Resource Pathfinder for UA Library
For this project, I worked with Librarian Chris Kollen to create an index to both paper and web-based resources for statistics. Winter 2002.

Videos and Archival Recordings for Mexican American Studies
This list was created for my fellow team member, Ninfa Trejo. Audio visual materials can be difficult to locate in the catalog, so this resource was created for Mexican American Studies professors and students. It provides access information for hundreds of currently uncataloged archival materials pertaining to Mexican folklore and the history of Tucson. Winter 2002.

Research tools created with Ruth Dickstein
Here are some of the projects where I have assisted UA Librarian Ruth Dickstein in the development of research tools organizing UA Library and Web resources for the use of students beginning research. Most of these were created in the spring of 2001.

The Meanings of Freedom in American History: A Research Guide
This Webpage was created to direct Trad 103 students to the primary sources they would need to start their research projects. Social Science Team Librarians Ruth Dickstein and Joe Brewer created the content, and Ruth and I worked together to give it an easily usable and visually interesting design and format. It was accompanied by in-class instruction by Ruth on the differences between primary and secondary documentation and in the use of the website.
18th and 19th-Century Newspapers on Microfilm at the UA Library
Lists of History Microforms in the University of Arizona Library System
These lists were in paper format only and needed updating. Again, Ruth provided the content and I worked to create an easily readable format to optimize them for the web. Since speedy loading was more important than elaborate design, these pages were deliberately kept very simple.

Incunabula and Early Books Resources at the University of Arizona
Created in the spring of 2001.

Published article: "Redesigning Your Library's Website" (written with Atilla Vékony) in Library Hi-Tech News, August 2002.

Websites: Please note that all of the websites listed here were built the old-fashioned way with table-based layouts. This is due to the fact that at the time they were designed the UA Library needed to support the use of Netscape 4.7.
