It does this through establishing a system that stores any data uploaded to it -- be it text, photos, music, video, or anything else -- and allows a developer to create a website template using this data to create a fully-featured website. It provides all of the essential and helpful tools that a developer may need for designing a website, such as automatic breadcrumbs, template management, and pre-formatted user profile registration, while providing support for user-created extensions to provide additional functionality. Since its inception, it has become one of the most popular content management systems currently in use.

The proposed test will examine users as they go through the process of filling out a user profiles. For profiles, we want to test if given the current labels and the free form text input, are users able to enter valid data that can be used for recommendations or will there be too much variety.

It is the amalgamation of different fields that span a large variety of disciplines, e.g. psychology, AI, neuroscience, philosophy, human-computer interaction. At its core, it is essentially the study of the human mind. Each field explores the mysteries of the human mind from their own perspective. This paper presents a look at some theories of research that have a strong corollary to information architecture. The ties between the theories and their applications in information architecture may be subjective, but there is no denying that some phenomena of the brain are an integral part of our everyday lives.

LIS 653 / Seminar in Archival Studies; Supervisor: Deborah Dunn; Instructor: Dr. Andrew Wertheimer. Collection Overview: Donated incrementally to Hamilton Library by passionate Gorey collector John A. Carollo, beginning in 1998. Currently managed by the Special Research Collections (SRC), a new entity dedicated to making the treasures of the library available to student, faculty, and public researchers. Carollo’s gift to Hamilton constitutes the most comprehensive public collection of the prolific author/artist’s work in the world. Materials include: Monographs; Coffee mugs; A fur coat; Postcards; Books arts materials; Hand sewn stuffed animals; Serials; LPs; Fine art prints; Original cover art; Calendars; Jewelry; An umbrella; And more! The Exhibit; Preliminary Preparation: Reconciling the inventory, Condition reports, Controlled vocabulary; Exhibit Preparation: During Selection, After Selection – Organization, Preparation. Cooperation as Our Key to Success: Preparation of this collection for exhibit would have been impossible without Hamilton’s dedicated staff and willing volunteers coming together in a library-wide effort. For example, cataloging graciously rushed many items to ensure that they were properly catalogued before being loaned, and the University Archives allowed us use of their facilities for selection and treatment activities.

LIS 677 Human Dimension in Information Systems; University of Hawaii at Manoa, Library & Information Science. Introduction: Research Questions, Theoretical Background; Methods; Results. Summary: Emotion is a critical component of human behavior, including information seeking. Our study shows that higher affective load is related to more difficulty in noticing aspects of the database. The less we notice, the more likely our system image will be inaccurate, leading to low acceptance of the system, lowering motivation, and possibly disengagement. Higher optimism and self-efficacy may not have enough of a buffering effect in performing tasks of high difficulty. Further studies could pinpoint where the points of frustration or increased affective load are and ways to mitigate these in student searching. This study also indicates the need to incorporate teaching models to help students understand how databases work in library instruction.

Group project in collaboration with Rebecca Marrall and Kim Okahara. Background: LIS 665 Teaching Information Technology Literacy provides the rare and valuable opportunity for students to engage in all phases of instructional design, including conducting needs assessment, composing instructional materials, integrating standards and performance indicators and measures in the instructional materials, delivering the instructional unit, and finally assessing the unit. The course is exceptional for taking students through the entire sequence in a single semester and for providing instructional experience with a class of college seniors. The instructional project was undertaken by a working group of myself, Rebecca Marrall, and Kim Okahara. Our instructional unit was designed to be delivered in a single session within the semester long course PSY 409a Driving Psychology at University of Hawaii at Manoa. The psychology students were required to use certain resources for their term paper, and our unit aimed at providing skills training in using various Google platforms. One of the themes of the psychology course was road rage – this theme runs throughout our instructional content. A. Needs Assessment B. Instructional Design 01 – Standards, Outcomes, Indicators C.

Embedded librarianship is a current trend where librarians and information professionals take their services out of the library building and embed themselves into academic departments, which in turn facilitates collaboration with faculty. Embedded librarians can teach more faculty and students how to use library collections and services. Technology facilitates embedded librarianship. For example, Duke University libraries have added a chat reference module in Duke’s course management system. For many classes, students are required to use this software to complete and submit assignments, check grades, etc. This library chat service allows librarians to answer reference questions and offer information literacy instruction. This is one example where embedded librarians can use existing technologies to reach out to students who might not frequently visit the library. Librarians can: Become liaisons between academic departments and the library; Sit in during classes and faculty meetings; Set up help desks in campus buildings (near classrooms, labs, etc.); Offer Internet chat reference services and use other technologies to develop new strategies.
