Filed Under Events, Faculty, Librarian

Congratulations to Web Services Librarian Emily Molanphy, who presented her poster, “Pinpointing the answer: Simple faceted classification in Delicious,” at the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), New York Chapter, 2008 Symposium. Inspired by a project Emily facilitated with the Division of Education Informatics at NYU School of Medicine, the poster presentation explained “the concept of faceted browsing within and beyond the world of libraries,” with suggestions on how librarians might “add faceted tag bundles to their existing collections of bookmarks in Delicious.” See the poster for yourself. It is on display in the glassed bulletin board to the right of the library’s main entrance.
