A curated LibGuide exploring the theoretical and practical location of New York City film culture, with a focus on access, community-building, and shared viewing experiences. While grounded in NYC-specific and Pratt-accessible resources, the guide offers broadly useful digital content for wider audiences. Organized into sections on theaters, festivals, film communities, and DIY practices, the project emphasizes how film operates as both a cultural and communal infrastructure. Feedback highlighted its clarity, accessibility, and strong balance between academic and public-facing resources.

The team identified Pratt students as the primary user group and developed the guide by researching and compiling film-related resources across NYC. Content was collaboratively organized using Google Docs and implemented in LibApps, with supplemental video content produced using personal devices.

Group project (5 members). I created video content, developed the “Film Clubs and Community Events” section, and designed consistent title headers across the guide. Additionally, using LibApps to address any potential issues continuously.

Applied foundational LIS concepts to the organization and access of information across a hybrid (physical/digital) cultural landscape.

This addition to my portfolio, which fulfills the requirements, highlights my ability to work, organize, and collaborate with colleagues to develop a project. This project was fundamental in knowing how to showcase and make information accessible to multiple audiences and/or to define the target audience.

The learning outcome in technology was achieved in this project by using a digital tool to organize library system resources. Patrons would be able to identify information showcased in the LibGuide. While troubleshooting was needed at the start of this project's development, it was addressed. 

Including this in my portfolio aligns with my skill set: identifying the tools presented in a learning environment and adapting to use them. This highlights the importance of using technology in the library field to adapt to digital infrastructure that showcases innovation.
