I am wondering if anyone has experience working with students (particularly CIS students) in service learning projects involving the library. I am currently supervising four first-year students who are working on a brief (10 hour) project involving the usability and redesign of the homepage as part of a first year seminar course. Obviously we won't get the whole thing done, but it is providing us with some valuable student insight into what should be on the page, etc. I anticipate the CIS department's first-year experience program will want to continue this collaboration, so I'm trying to brainstorm some projects that might be useful for future semesters particularly for freshmen who are just beginning their course of study in computer science, information technology, or information systems. This semester's project was thrown together in only a few days and I would like to not do that again! Ideas would be appreciated.
