Abstract

This case study describes Indiana University Libraries’ use of Omeka for online exhibits of digital collections. Omeka is placed in the context of other online exhibit tools being used by galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM). Omeka provides many benefits for different types of digital library collection exhibits and different levels of technical expertise but is currently limited in the ability to manage multiple exhibits of separate digital collections. Describing Omeka in the context of other online exhibit tools shows the need for this kind of evaluation to improve these tools for the GLAM community.
