After having a thoroughly turkeyed holiday weekend, I was happy to get back to work here at the City Tech Library. Today, I finally wrapped up the citation grail quest tutorial! We had a few bugs with the style sheets and I needed to rephrase a few things, but I think we’re good to go at last. Keep an eye out over the next week or so for its debut on the library website!
I also spent some time on the database tutorial today. We might be changing gears away from our subway map idea and instead thinking of databases in terms of dating profiles. Students need to know if a database has what they are looking for in a good match. A quick profile can tell them whether they need to swipe left or right on any given database, so I’m developing swiping games that students can use to find their database match. Hopefully we’ll be able to start featuring these on our website soon.
Have a great week!
