SI Student Projects: expoSItion
Following the SI Employment Information Fair this morning (3-26-07), I stopped through the Student Project expoSItion. The projects incorporated information science into a variety of settings--transportation, medical records, archives, etc. For a full listing of poster abstracts link to:

It was exciting to learn that many of the projects were being put forth for consideration, and actual application, by community organizations and businesses.

The Kresge Business Administration Library is an academic library that serves specifically the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. With an aim to provide better quality service to the Ross community, the Kresge library incorporate its Web site with a variety of online services. Unfortunately, the Web site, expecting to offer rich business-related academic and career information, has not won the same high reputation as its excellent librarians. To help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Kresge Web site, this project uses comparative analysis, heuristic evaluation, and usability testing to develop a feasible recommendation to the Web site's re-design plan.
