creating the hunt partners app: cross-departmental rapid response
DESCRIPTION
Many projects are long-term in nature with dedicated committees and broad scopes, others are short-term and narrower. One such project was the iPad web application we developed for the opening of the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library to display the names and images of the many generous donors who helped make the new library possible. This talk will highlight our cross-departmental work as a “rapid response force” and use of Drupal and a variety of web technologies to ensure successful completion of this crucial application.TRANSCRIPT
