Kathleen has just completed her second semester at Pratt, and she is focusing in Usability Studies with a dash of Archives mixed in. After studying Art History and Fine Arts undergrad, and earning a postgraduate degree in Museum and Gallery Studies in Scotland, Kathleen has been working at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts cataloguing their wonderful collections and curating small exhibitions. A rather avid traveler, Kathleen previously lived in London, Berlin, Austin (Texas) and a small seaside village in Scotland ��� of all the places she�۪s been, it�۪s really no contest��_.New York City is the best! It's a thrill to have two projects I helped with be presented at this years Student Showcase, and thank you to my team members who worked so hard on both these amazing projects!

Folksonomies & Social Tagging in Art Museums

Folksonomies allow a richer discovery experience for museum website and database users by mapping social tagging to curatorial vocabularies.
