Working on an "oral history" design brief for the website (Lisanti) |
Why people would go to the site because they want to
- Want to see beautiful photographs (general public)
- Want to remember their experience with Doc (Doc's friends and colleagues)
- Want to experience Edgerton as representative of MIT (ethos, philosophy, spirit)
- read about technologies that Doc created
- Looking for teaching materials (K-12 teachers)
The future website will:
- Tell Doc's story - web pages to be edited by Suzana
- Allow users to browse by topic and media
- Advanced search with defined search specs (full text, which fields?)
- Timeline (examples: Old North Church and Serial Experience
- Show the relationship among the items presented
- Have a glossary of key terms (can link to wikipedia)
- Visitors will be able to
- Identify objects or pages (add tags or description)
- Transcribe a page (literal transcription)
- Contribute a story - What do we want with image display?
- Ability to see the artistic photos separately from all images - Page turning feature, see http://www.issuu.com
for our collections, a "next" and "previous" link will work, and the notebook image will load in the viewer.
