I met tight deadlines for organizing annual meetings, providing agendas, and creating documents summarizing the progress of the website. I analyzed patron usage and dedicated resources to adding content on the most used area of the website. I responded to patron inquiries for legal information and reported statistics to the web content committee. I suggested new areas of law that should be covered and provided legal content for these areas. Some new areas I suggested included adding a teen resource section, HIV resource database, and cross marketing the Peoples Law Library website with other Maryland Law Libraries. Some of these suggestions were later implemented by the team.
