This was a digital project from LSC 504 using LibGuide that was a finale project for the class. As individuals we were required to create a library research guide using LibGuides, a commercial program commonly used by libraries to author, format and manage their guides (Dr. Villa-Nicholas). We had to choose sources that was relevant to the population and topic of interest we hope to serve that would benefit their research needs. LibGuides is a base point to start with research with recommended sources. My LibGuide is focused on the topic of Indigenous Conversations on Gender and Spirituality of the Americas and Canada. I give you recommendation of diverse sources with books, articles, lectures, and AV materials to research and process the information.
Introduction to information science is the exploration of fundamental information science therories and information technology with what is information disciplines, how do humans use information, and what is the future of information science (and what is the future of information)? (Dr. Mandel).Here are a collection of assignments and projects form my LSC 508 class Intro to Information Science and Technology. These projects are based on the question, What is information? How is it used, retrieved and formatted for users? LSC 508 explain the purpose and meaning of the DIKW Model, and my favorite, Info Graphics. At the top is a link to a site of continued projects with lessons also from LSC 508 in a visual format.
LSC 544 Visual Information Science is a course in the Library and Information Science field at URI. Visual information science related to visual information (data) collection, analysis, processing, transmission, utilization, and communication with emphasis on psychological, social, and cultural aspects of visual information in modern and digital libraries and information centers (Dr. Ma).At the top is a link to a presentation on the unstandings of visual information along with a project based on the research of a digital library or museum. I chosen to base my project on a the worlds first digital museum based in Tokyo, Japan. Not only is it the first digital museum, but it is also interactive with the visitors sharing aesthetic, philosophy, culture and education. Also in the Team Lab link is the name of the museum and project with a sample of the experience in the museum.
