Prototype Interface Admin, Display, Search My Folders ADMIN: Allows the digital library visitor to publish his own material for others to use as well as arrange the contents of his My Folders space. DISPLAY: Allows for different ways of showing off an individual object or group of objects within one’s space. Some common “displays” here would include slideshows and thumbnails. SEARCH: Allows for basic keyword searching at any point in time, as well as access to more extensive search capabilities. Prototype Interface My Folders A personal space where your uploaded objects as well as links to other objects can be organized. This space will also show the classes and projects you are currently involved in, in the capacity of instructor and/or student. The Buzz / What’s New? This space will include recent additions to the digital library, particularly those related to the visitor’s established areas of interest. The Buzz will specifically display the most accessed objects overall, within my field, etc. This space will also ultimately contain other information, such as live news feeds, both local and world-wide.
