I have been creating Web pages since 1998, and below are several examples of my work:
The Odd Couple
http://www.oddcouple.info
Created in January 1998
My first experience in creating web pages, this is a fan site providing information about the television show, "The Odd Couple." I started it by using free Web space provided by Tripod.com. After the site became popular, I moved it to its own domain name, using advertising to cover the costs.
Urban Legends
http://www.geocities.com/jaclyn_3/pathfinder.html
Created in July 2002
As part of the requirements for LIS 518, Reference Sources and Services, I created this pathfinder dealing with the topic of urban legends.

Immigration and Citizenship

Created in March 2003
As part of the requirements for LIS 567, Government Information, I created this web guide for government information related to immigration and citizenship (originally hosted on the University at Buffalo's Web server).
Upstate New York Chapter - Special
Libraries Association
http://units.sla.org/chapter/cuny/
After being on the Web committee for my local SLA, I was offered the position of Webmaster in July 2004. Since taking over this position, I have linked each page in the site to a Cascading Style Sheet, which allows for a uniform appearance and fewer "font" tags, which means faster load times. This also allowed me to switch the page over to a CSS-based layout, rather than a table-based layout. I also created a new background and moved subpage links to the side, in order to take advantage of the space created by the colored sidebar. You can view a letter sent to me by our chapter's then-president, thanking me for my committee involvement.
D'Youville College - Montante Family Library - Interlibrary Loan
http://library.dyc.edu/ill.html
In January 2007, I made several contributions to the Montante Family Library website. Our interlibrary loan service, which formerly accepted requests only via paper forms, now accepts requests online. For this new service, I created four PHP forms (one for each type of material), which send the request to the library via e-mail. When you visit the link above, you can find the forms in the purple box on the right side of the page.
