Task

As part of the discovery phase of a multisite redesign, I learned that our academic programs wanted ways to more easily showcase their faculty’s scholarship and in particular, books. I designed, developed and provided documentation/training on a new Faculty Bookshelf plugin at my own initiative.

Featured Skills

• HTML, CSS, Javascript

Functionality

The content manager creates a graphic from a provided Canva template for the author/book cover to upload to the plugin along with the book title, subtitle, link to modal content, author and topic tag. The topic tag field is a multiselect list of predefined categories that allows users to filter by research specialty. The book title outputs as a link users can click on to see the modal content, which is a brief description of the book.
