Summary for this week:
I joined the first online meeting with Dawn and Cici on Friday and got some plans for the week. We started with visiting study and meeting spaces and different library websites to get a general idea of what kind of information might be missing on our LITS website. On Sunday, I met Cici for two hours to generate a list of interview questions and create our study web page. Also, we looked through the LITS Information Architecture diagram and mapped couple areas of interest (see above). I read through Dawn’s suggestion for the interview questions and came up with some additional questions.
