  Bibliotheek west-achterhoek

  Feb 2008 - Jun 2008

  Intership

  Internship for five months with the library in West-Achterhoek, which had five locations at the time. I've spent my time on research and development of a new catalog system for the ‘online library’ where customers could manage their reservations and could browse through the catalogue. I've integrated the catalog in the library website with a new set of integration tools from the existing catalogue system. The end result was a customised online library catalogue which improved customer experience and the ability for the library to manage their online catalogue content. Show less
