LBSC 690: Assignment #2 (Fall 2008)

You are the media specialist in an elementary school. You have been asked to develop a new Web interface to assist children in locating library resources and other resources on the Web. Here are some examples of sites with similar purpose:

As you're looking through these sites, keep in mind user interaction issues discussed in class, for example:

Based on what you think is effective and ineffective in these digital resources, develop a Web interface to support elementary-age children in finding books in your collection as well as resources online (decide what online resource you think are appropriate!). "Develop a Web interface" as in create a mock-up; for example, the search functionality doesn't have to work, links don't necessary have to go anywhere. The Web mock-up should contain at least three pages and demonstrate understanding of user interface design principles discussed in class.

This assignment should be placed online in your WAM account. In grading the assignment, I will navigate to http://www.wam.umd.edu/~USERNAME, where USERNAME corresponds to your UMD directory id. At that URL, I expect the following:

In other words, when I arrive at the above URL, I should see something like this. There is nothing that you need to turn in to me explicitly.
