USF SLIS: East Coast Connection

I took web design for librarians my first semester at USF with Professor Austin. I learned a lot in the class, and it had a real independent study feel to it. I would absolutely recommend taking this class as an elective. It is an opportunity to develop skills that employers will be looking for. Be warned that you will get out of this class what you put in. The teacher is often mia, and she is kind of an easy grader, so learning is up to you.

I took Professor Austin for the class Web Design for Librarians, I learned a lot in the class, and it inspired me to build this website. Professor Austin seems to care about the students, and really wants them to succeed. She chose useful reading materials for the course that are falling apart from overuse. The problem many seemed to have with her is that she does seem to go mia on occasions. This doesn't bother me, but some people in the class were noticeably perturbed. When she was available, during elluminate sessions she was very helpful, and she would always offer feedback in assignments, although they did take abnormally long to be returned. Overall, I would definitely take a class with her again. I am hoping that a part II to the web design class gets developed. I would not recommend taking her if you don't like classes to feel like independent study. Here is her link on ratemyprofessors.com
