As part of the “Technical Advances for Innovation in
Cultural Heritage Institutions” (yep, that’s TAI CHI) Webinar
Series my colleague Roy Tennant puts together, there is an upcoming event
focusing on OMEKA, the web-publishing platform for collections created by the Center
for History and New Media (CHNM). This is a great opportunity to learn more
about an amazing tool. More info, including advance registration, can be found

OCLC Research to Host TAI CHI Omeka Webinar
on 8 December at 1 p.m. EST (UTC-5 Hours)
Omeka is a free and open source collections-based, Web-based
platform for scholars, librarians, archivists, museum professionals, educators
and cultural enthusiasts.
Until now, scholars and cultural heritage professionals
looking to publish collections-based research and online exhibitions required
either extensive technical skills or considerable funding for outside vendors.
By making standards-based, serious online publishing easy, Omeka puts the power
and reach of the Web in the hands of academics and cultural professionals
themselves.
Omeka features a "five-minute setup" that makes
launching an online exhibition as easy as launching a blog. Designed with
non-IT specialists in mind, it allows users to focus on content and
interpretation rather than programming. It brings Web 2.0 technologies and
approaches to academic and cultural Web sites to foster user interaction and
participation. It also makes top-shelf design easy with a simple and
flexible operating system. Omeka's robust open-source developer and user
communities underwrite its stability and sustainability.
In this webinar, Sheila Brennan, Omeka End User Outreach
Coordinator and Senior Digital History Associate at the Center for History and
New Media (CHNM), will provide an overview of Omeka. Dave Lester, Omeka
Developer Outreach Coordinator and Developer at CHNM, will provide more
technical aspects of the Omeka software.
Webinar participation is free and open to all but advanced
registration is required. This is the second webinar in the OCLC Research Technical Advances for Innovation in
Cultural Heritage Institutions (TAI CHI) Webinar Series developed to
highlight specific innovative applications, often locally developed, that
libraries, museums and archives may find effective in their own environments,
as well as to teach technical staff new technologies and skills. We
intend to make recordings of these webinars available on the OCLC Research Web
site and in the iTunes Store.
