Hello! 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.

1. Citation Manager setup (Zotero) - what does it mean to start capturing and cataloging readings data for my personal use in this class?

2. Changing Landscapes Using Data Nesting - how can GIS data be a tool for more than just maps?

3. Design a Dating App Data Safety and/or Privacy Policy - how do the interactions between privacy and safety make data design really tricky?

4. Design Cher's Digital Closet using conceptual data models - how can relational data models incorporate personal data and curated folksonomies to best serve their users?

5. Convert MARC 21 Records to RDF - why is decoding and translating data from one format to another so hard, and what can we as information professionals do to help untangle these knots?

   
   

The information gull says "hello."

They're meant to be read in this order, though if you would rather choose your own adventure, that's fine too!

I hope these blog entries help you better understand my ever-evolving thoughts around information organization.
