[Web4lib] Looking for projects for students - Web Site Redesign/Design (Small Scale Projects - Non-Profits)

[Diane K. Kovacs]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm teaching two sections of LIS590LWL Web Design and Construction 
for Organizations - an introduction to Web Design, XHTML, CSS etc. 
for UIUC LEEP again this summer.

I require each student to work with a 'client' to redesign an 
existing Web site for a non-profit organization, preferably a 
special, academic, school, or public library, or library 
organization.  The course begins June 14 and ends August 6, 2009.

These are Library School students working through Distance Learning 
who are just beginning with Web Design, XHTML etc.  What we are 
looking for is small scale redesign projects, e.g., one area of a 
larger site - or a new design for a special patron group.   I cannot 
guarantee that any of my students will choose your projects. Also, 
some larger scale projects, the students may form teams to work on 
them.  Students may also choose the library they currently work in or 
a non-profit organization known to them to work with. So, if you 
would like to be on the list of projects for my students to consider 
please email me with the following information:

1. Contact person with email and telephone numbers (this would be the 
'client' that students are expected to interview and interact with 
cooperatively to come up with design options)
2. The URL of the current Web site (if there is one - otherwise URL 
of the overall site associated with your organization)
3. Brief description of what you would like to have done with the site.

I will respond to you whether your project fits our scope in terms of 
time and expertise of students and verify you want to be on the list.

Thank you!
Diane
