This is the first complete website I made. I used the final projects from 3 of my Master of Library & Information Science (MLIS) courses to create it: an SQL database, PHP code connecting the database and website, and the website interface.
I had to figure out how to get web hosting, buy a domain name, use an FTP/SFTP, and get my site up and running, as the hosting I could have used through my school didn't allow PHP.
One of the graduation requirements for my MLIS program was to create an ePortfolio with samples of our course work. I decided to design and code mine from scratch rather than use a website builder, as I wanted to practice my web development skills. I used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap to make this site.
This is an open access textbook I worked on as a Practicum Student with the University of Minnesota Libraries Web Development Department. I used Pressbooks (which is built on WordPress) to convert Wilson's text from Microsoft Word documents to this eBook.
The portions of the book I completed: Chapters 2-6, About the Author, Preface, Brief Table of Contents, Table of Contents, and Epilogue. I also created a style guide along the way to document important information about the HTML and CSS I used. Due to the nature of the Practicum, I was unable to complete the entire book.
I spent time during my MLIS Practicum updating links on the Libraries' website. Their site is built using Drupal, so I was able to get to know the content management system as I worked on this project.
