Hello Colleagues.

Here is a summary of responses to my Timelines query. Dizzying. Tiki Toki seemed to catch my eye. Also, for my needs….Timeline Maker.

Lu Harper

Librarian/Webmaster

Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester

See: Irving Penn Archives website, including Penn's life and career and an exhibition history. The museum's web team was responsible for transferring content that I created in .doc to XML for inclusion in the timeline software, and I believe that the workflow was smooth. Images can be included

Capzles. A Social Media Timeline. You need to make an account for this one but it is free and has gorgeous results. http://www.capzles.com/#

Preceden http://www.preceden.com/

Again you need to create an account but it seems straightforward with less of a learning curve than Capzles.

My students have been interested in using Zotero [ http://www.zotero.org/blog/visualize-your-zotero-collections-in-timelines/

], but I don't find it user friendly. Years ago there was Visio and the like...I still rely on MS WORD and its ability to print vertically.
