Library IT provides infrastructure setup for a successful digital exhibitions project
This week, a group of Yale librarians presented the results of a pilot project using Omeka for creating and curating digital exhibitions at the Library. Library IT was pleased to provide infrastructure and support for the initial Omeka installation. The Systems Infrastructure and Integration Services unit configured and deployed the underlying infrastructure according to specification provided by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.
LibraryIT looks forward to supporting more successful pilots like this one!
Here is the announcement regarding the group’s presentation:
Omeka: Piloting a Web Platform for Digital Exhibitions at Yale
When: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Where: Sterling Memorial Library (SML), International Room
120 High St., New Haven, CT 06511
Description:
Over the course of the last academic year a working group made up by Francesca Livermore, Melissa Grafe, Peter Leonard, Kerri Sancomb, Robin Dougherty, and Andy Hickner, has been tasked by the Web Group with investigating a platform for digital exhibitions at the library. After developing a set of system requirements and exploring several options, the working group suggested a six-month pilot of Omeka, an open-source web platform created by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University with support from the Mellon Foundation. As the pilot draws to its end, Francesca and Melissa will discuss the work of the group so far, including our experience working with Omeka, and next steps beyond the pilot period.
