In a collaborative effort, our group organized our findings into executive overviews and stakeholder presentation deliverables. Each team member developed their own sustainability plans based on selected topics for improvement.

I chose to focus on third-party collaborators as a viable means of sustaining wayfinding for existing visitors and engaging the community, with an emphasis on marginalized groups and their challenges.

In my role, I created a second presentation to showcase the data I gathered from visitor interviews, literature reviews, and heuristic and accessibility analyses. I also organized a stakeholder meeting to learn about previous and existing research, ensuring there were no overlaps and further developing exploratory research.

My findings revealed that Apple Maps and Google Maps could serve as sustainable pathways to better engage the community, as well as provide a more robust solution for current visitors to explore the capabilities and features the library has to offer. While MSU Main Library is currently utilizing Matterport to enhance accessibility for planned visits, there are additional opportunities to improve engagement through these mapping platforms.
