Creating Online Exhibits with Omeka Instructor: Alison Lewis Dates: March 2nd through 29th, 2020 Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs Price: $175 http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/120-omeka.php Omeka is an open source web-publishing platform used by many libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural organizations for creating online exhibits of materials from their collections. This course provides the opportunity to explore the exhibit-building process and gain hands-on experience in creating a professional-level exhibit on a topic of your choice. It is designed to be used with the freely available “Trial” version of Omeka.net, but students may use whatever version of Omeka they have access to. We will be focusing on the exhibit-building process, using Omeka as a tool; this course does not cover higher level coding or customization features of Omeka. No prior experience with exhibit building or web-based publishing is required. Learning outcomes: - Identify the purposes and best practices for building an online exhibit - Gain familiarity with the basic functions of Omeka, including the exhibit builder plug-in - Select appropriate items to upload into Omeka, and describe them with tags and basic Dublin Core metadata - Plan and develop an online exhibit suitable for use on an organization’s website or in a professional portfolio Alison M.
