Design and populate a wiki for BRASS

Description

The goal of the project is to design and populate a wiki for BRASS. This would make more materials available from the front-page - committees, publications, handbook, The goal of the project is to design and populate a wiki for BRASS. This would make current source of information needed in the day to day business of the section. The wiki would also include sections that would link to current ideas and topics, e.g. How is Web 2.0 being implemented in Business Libraries. A project challenge will be design of the main page - what to make available from the top level. This is the type of problem that new librarians will be facing in their professional lives - what is essential and helpful to patrons. The focus for the Emerging Leader will be to think of the membership of BRASS as patrons and design the wiki to meet their needs. This may mean surveying the membership or attending committee meetings to sample ideas and input. Emerging Leaders will juggle a multitude of ideas and input while focusing on a basic design that can later be expanded. Expected Outcomes: A wiki will be developed that will be immediately useful to all members and allow for sharing new ideas and practices. Mentor: Rita Moss, moss@unc.edu

Introductions

Laurie Bridges: I work at Oregon State University as the Business & Economics Librarian. I'm a tenure-track librarian and my research interests include online delivery of information and library services and online social networking and its implications for libraries and education (Facebook me!). I graduated from the University of Washington with my MLIS in December of 2006 and started my library position in January of 2007. Before becoming a librarian I worked as a marketing coordinator in Housing & Dining Services at Oregon State University for six years. In addition to my MLIS I also hold an MS in College Student Services Administration from Oregon State University and a BSEd in English from the University of Nebraska. I am also a blogger at infodoodads.com [1].
