Matthew Collins: Team Leader
SF Deviants (Deviant Librarians) researching deviantart.com
The SF Deviants met several times to develop our project. The first meeting, wherein our roles were defined and I was nominated Team leader, was a face to face meeting. Subsequent meetings occurred online via Elluminate. I discovered quickly that our group worked very well together collaborating and reaching consensus. As a team we: researched the deviantART site and its applications and developed methods for a Library, specifically San Francisco Public Library, to utilize deviantART. The traditional role of leader in the meetings was not needed, everyone stayed on task, did their assigned jobs and helped move things forward. We really had a great group and it was a pleasure working with all of the members. My role as leader became more important in compiling the final product for submission. The following list is the highlights of what I did as a member of the team.
• Arranged space for first meeting
• Signed up Deviant-Librarians for presence on deviantART (note: data submission and posting was collaborative)
• Researched Art creation/posting
• Researched methods of promoting library (SFPL) via the creation of art (note: other team members researched other methods)
• Researched the added value that deviantART could offer: tutorials and chat rooms
• Created and posted promotional images
• Created Power Point to be used both in presentation and as a backup for those who were utilizing application sharing
• Created and submitted “title page” with link to deviant librarians blog http://deviant-librarians.blogspot.com/ where or individual self assessments reside.
