(my apologies if you’ve seen this already)

Just a quick heads up that Mauricio Giraldo, an Interaction Designer/Developer from the New York Public Library will be giving a presentation in MITH (Hornbake) next Tuesday at 12:30PM [1]. He is going to be talking about NYPL’s Building Inspector [2] which is worth checking out beforehand if you are thinking of coming. Be careful though, it’s kind of addictive...at least it was for me.

I suspect this will not just be a demo, but more an exploration of the user experience and design decisions that went into Building Inspector and similar crowd sourcing projects underway at NYPL. Mauricio holds a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University.
