Abstract

In this session, Jackson Harper (Library Science Graduate Student & Sciences Library Graduate Assistant), Amy Minix (Neuro-Health Sciences Librarian), and Nick Homenda (Digital Initiatives Librarian) will share their experiences working with the online exhibit platform, Omeka S. This talk will cover how the History of Smallpox Vaccination online exhibit was planned and implemented, which include the project management process, curating content, highlighting library and Open Access resources, transferring information into Omeka, and creating visual representations using ArcGIS maps. Participants will learn about this process, which will hopefully inspire folks to create their own Omeka S online exhibitions.
