Projects
Find@Roux
As online access to library resources has become the norm, browsing habits have changed. In order to respond to users’ needs, I designed and developed Find@Roux, a custom web application that will provide a unique library service by assisting users navigate the stacks. When using this app, students, faculty, and staff will spend less time navigating the physical stacks searching for specific items. In the first implementation phase, users will browse a digital map to identify subject areas and physical spaces on each floor, and in the second implementation phase, users will identify the location of each physical library item.
