Preservation Assessment
for the Sarpy County Museum
In this assignment for LIS 60654: Preservation and Conservation, I used the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Preservation Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) to assess the storage environment conditions of the collections at a small, local history museum. I then made recommendations for improvement and provided resources for further information and volunteer training purposes.
Event Posters
for Cheongna Dalton School's annual Book Week
Created for Cheongna Dalton School, an international school in Incheon, South Korea, this week-long program of events were a rebrand and repackaging of the traditional annual events hosted by the library in order to fit an overall theme. In this case, the theme was a "BookCon," or Book Convention, inspired by ComicCon and other such themed conventions. Events included an author visit, a themed locker decorating day, a book cosplay day (where students and staff would dress up as book characters), a book trivia tournament, and a book exchange. The events also coincided with an annual school-wide and fundraising 5k run, so the BookCon included fundraising efforts to purchase books for schoolchildren in the Philippines.
