Evaluation of the Design process and Software used.

This website was created to address a need for online reading material that catered for young adults who are not interested in the traditional book. This occurred to me increasingly during my dissertation research and my career as future information professional. WordPress was instrumental in the creation of a website that met users needs and

Evaluation of the Strength and Weaknesses of the Website

There are many strengths associated with designing this website. “Graphically Yours” is very appealing to readers as the online books can be accessed any time of the day, as long as you have access to an internet connection. Readers can participate from home, school or any other public place.   The website is easy to navigate

Personal Reflection of Project

This project was very daunting, as even though I have created a blog, I have never created a website. However, with the assistance of WordPress, YouTube and a colleague of mine, I was able to navigate the basic techniques to construct and complete an operational website. I also decided to incorporate my daughter’s creative talents

Reflective Blog

“Graphically Yours” is an online book club that was created as part of an assignment to complete my BSc Information Studies. This website is basically a gateway for reading material that are in  graphic novel format, in order to appeal to a reader who does not like to read the traditional book, but may enjoy

Misconceptions about being a Library Assistant

Everyday I am faced with the same comments and questions: What do you do all day besides check in, check out books? Work. Do you read books all day? No Is it boring shelving all day? I don’t shelf all day. How come you’re not older? Or the classic: You’re pretty for someone who works
