If you've stumbled upon this set of MLIS blog entries, you've just found my  LIS 530: Organization of Information and Resources final portfolio . These five blog entries represent my journey through this core MLIS class. Citation Manager setup (Zotero)  - what does it mean to start capturing and cataloging readings data for my personal use in this class?

Merging companies, software migrations, and changing leadership standards are just a few reasons why I’ve found data conversion so commonplace in my past career. When I read that MARC stood for “machine readable cataloging record,” I was immediately intrigued by the possibility of decoding MARC records with some form of automation. I decided to take on the challenge and realized quickly just how densely packed the...]]></description><link>https://www.torimcgillenchoi.com/post/assignment-convert-marc-21-records-to-rdf</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b1e39b19a7028f2bbf949a</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Mar 2026 23:21:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/96e24e_73874184e82c40778117bf9136f0763b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_826,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tori McGillen-Choi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assignment: Design Cher's Digital Closet using conceptual data models]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records  was a fascinating look into a conceptual data model with which I had little prior familiarity. With software, I feel it is easy to get stuck in the headspace of a specific use case, and build practical data models only for what’s needed for the function of the application. When reading about FRBR, I realized that starting at the conceptual level could help “future proof” a data model. This visual from the FRBR reading was crucial to my...]]></description><link>https://www.torimcgillenchoi.com/post/assignment-design-cher-s-digital-closet-using-conceptual-data-models</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b1b5cc3858926568f5a758</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:29:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/96e24e_89acde27c3bc4d8da3e6b69125caed51~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tori McGillen-Choi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assignment: Design a Dating App Data Safety and/or Privacy Policy]]></title><description><![CDATA[For me, the biggest tensions in designing the data schema and policies around a social application were around those of maintaining privacy while being able to enforce safety. When I was designing my application, I originally did not include identifiers such as legal name, IP address, or browser cookies that could help distinguish between users. I wanted users to stay in control of their data and to be able to delete their entire accounts. In designing the safety policy, I realized that...]]></description><link>https://www.torimcgillenchoi.com/post/assignment-design-a-dating-app-data-safety-and-or-privacy-policy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b1b9634a59a79963775c52</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2026 21:48:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/96e24e_a47b0cbf2de543aab3baaf42e54c7579~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_910,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tori McGillen-Choi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assignment: Changing Landscapes Using Data Nesting]]></title><description><![CDATA[When talking about geographic data, it is hard for me to separate the aspects of a place from the aspects of the time in which it exists and the context in which the information about it will be used. Am I attempting to navigate to this place? Am I describing where it is relative to other places? Am I describing the land itself or the nations or peoples that claim it?

Zotero was already installed, so my first action was to create an organizational structure using folders so that my new LIS 530 data had its own place. My “Readings_export” folder that I dragged and dropped into Zotero. I decided to upload my entire “LIS 530 Readings” folder to see how Zotero would handle the data. It was my first time using the drag and drop feature with PDFs, and I was surprised to see...]]></description><link>https://www.torimcgillenchoi.com/post/assignment-citation-manager-setup-zotero</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b1b6991905d1c065498dbc</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Jan 2026 06:14:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/96e24e_f8aaade05b0e492b826df58e97850957~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tori McGillen-Choi</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
