Protopage Summary

Protopage

LIS 6080 Group Project

 Group Members:

   Margaret-Mel Lenox,   Delcene Hughley,   Ashley Miklues,   Linda Streeter

Most of our communication was done using the group’s discussion board provide on the WSU Blackboard. On there we created a thread with all of our contact information, which was really helpful. Other threads were created to help decide what each of us were going to do for the project.

Margaret Mel-Lennox provided our introduction to Protopage and was responsible for posting it on her website. Margaret helped with editing our videos with Delcene.

Delcene Hughley provided step-by-step instructions on how to use Protopage and created a Blog for us to post out individual reports.  Delcene also assisted Margaret in editing our videos.

Ashley Miklues provided information on ways librarians might use Protopage and how they are using it now. Ashley provided imput on this summary paper with Linda Streeter

Linda Streeter provided our evaluation of the project, discussing, ease of use, and discussing Protopage’s  advantages and limitations. Linda provided imput on this summary paper with Ashley Miklues.

Throughout the project, in addition to the project website, Protopage, our group relied largely on the WSU Blackboard discussion board, File Exchange and various e-mail carriers for communication.  Delcene created a blog for us using Blogger: http://delashlinmar.blogspot.com/.  This blogspot was used to post our papers.  We each used Movie Maker to produce videos and Camstasia for video of our screen shots.  Papers were created using Microsoft Word.

Each member did their own evaluation of Protopage, by using the site and creating individual pages to get a better understanding of what value Protopage offered  and just how useful it could be in the library arena.
