        JD Shipengrover
        User Interface Designer
        <P>My primary work is to bring user-centered interface design principles to the prototypes created by OCLC Programs and Research.</P>
    <P>My main tools for rapid UI prototyping are paper and pencil, followed by building in xHTML, CSS, JavaScript, Photoshop, and XML. </P>
    <P>I also dabble in Flash, Flex, Illustrator, and other interesting UI development tools, such as APIs and JavaScript libraries, as they become available. UI development is a huge playing field and I enjoying learning as much as I can.</P>
    <P>My personal research interests include Usability in Web Design, Web Standards, and Information Visualization.</P>
    <P>I have B.A.s in Journalism and the History of Art from The Ohio State University, and a M.L.I.S. from Kent State University.</P>
    <P>I have been working in Web Design for over 10 years.</P>
