Hello all!
For the final assignment, I worked with a librarian at Hamilton East Public Library to develop a reading guide for Romantic Suspense paperbacks. The end result was a bookmark with a list that takes readers to a website with annotations, suggestions for authors and some fun websites to explore.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3XWdbVIqgZnelVLSm9uZ2xla1U/view?usp=sharing - link to the bookmark I designed for use in the library.
I wanted to add this caveat from my reflection paper as it was a slight hiccup in the process, so it's clear that this is not a permanent representation of the Hamilton East Public Library:
After
this bookmark and website were created, they were shared with the Hamilton East
Public Library marketing and community relations department for approval. At
this point the website remains unapproved by that department, because they would
like to find a way to incorporate this information into the main website for
the Hamilton East Public Library system – especially since the library launched
a new brand on April 15th and is eager to maintain a consistent
brand and image. However, this project has sparked discussion about including
more sub-sections of the website that are devoted to readers’ advisory guides
and information. For the purpose of this project, I was permitted to create
this website, understanding that as it is incorporated into the general
Hamilton East Public Library website, the content will remain consistent but
the web address and branding will be replaced with library-approved standards.
Hope you all enjoy - would love any feedback if you want to share!
Had a great semester working with all of you. Hope to see you in future classes, and congrats to those who are graduating this semester!
