OK, I've got a callback for an intervuew at TCU (that's a university in Fort Worth, for my non-Texan readers) for the position of IT Librarian.

Anyway, as part of this, they want me to give a short presentation on their webpage - I can choose anything to talk about - design, function, what's good, what's bad, whatever, and I've decided to do a little unscientific market research on it, and ask you guys to head over to the webpage, play with it a few minutes, then tell me your opinions and answer a couple of questions:

1) Let me know your platform/browser combo, please, and if the page is broken in any way on it.

2) Is it easy to navigate? Is anythign misleading?

3) Do the colors/fonts/placement/whatever work for you?

4) Is there anything that jumos out at you that you hate or that you really like?

5) Are there any functions or information not on the page that you'd like to see on it?

I've got my own opinions already, of course, but I won't prejudice you guys just yet. :)

If you get a chance to help out, thanks! :D

Hey that's pretty cool - didn't know you were a librarian. It's something I've considered getting into. I've found out about some good scholarship programs for the MLS. Bah, but I have to finish the BA in the first place which seems at this rate like it's never going to happen.

Yup, and here's my shiny new MLIS to prove it. It's shiny even though I got it in December, because I've been looking for work since then. :) This is the problem with (a) not wanting to move when I'm in a place that has two of the three accredited library schools in the state pumpin' out the graduates, and (b) when I don't want to do normal, regular librarianship (and I'm not very expereinced in it, either, so I'm not competitive in it), but instead something along technical lines, since I've got my nice, shiny Certificate in Digital Imaging and a bunch of experience with PHP, MySQL, and Web design under my belt.

So I'm *really* hoping that this works out. It fits on every level - it's int eh DFW area, it's technical, it's not corporate, and it pays enough that by keeping my student loans on income-dependent repayment, I can actually afford to pay rent and bills. :)
