About+This+Project

** I chose the project "Adult Books Turned Into Movies" because I am an avid watcher of movies. My tastes have changed over the years from watching children's movies to adult movies. This mediagraphy fits in perfectly with a section of the Multimedia class relating to videos. Currently, I also develop my current library's video collection, so I am qualified to develop this type of mediagraphy. Who else better to develop a mediagraphy than a potential librarian already working with this type of collection?
 * About this Project

While developing the mediagraphy, I wondered about the needs of the library's users. A wiki page similar to this one would benefit users in determining what to read or watch next. A list similar to the one in Appendix B would be particularly beneficial for library users who are unsure about what to watch next. After working in a library for awhile, I have noticed one interesting behavioral aspect of library users. Most tend to do better if they have a list to help work towards a goal. The specific goal with the AFI list is to be able to watch all of the movies and (if possible) read the book the movie was based on.

One particular interesting aspect about a wiki would be the need to continually update the Popular section because movies (and books) tend to lose their popularity over a certain amount of time. Users would benefit greatly if the popular section would also include popular movies in the theater that are based on books. It would help them determine whether to see it in the theater.

I hope you enjoy this mediagraphy!!!
