Abstract

Online exhibitions provide unique opportunities for institutions to promote collections, to recognize donors, and to further their educational objectives. This comprehensive guide to creating online exhibitions of library, archives, and museum collections addresses the challenges inherent in the design, creation, and execution of successful presentations. The increasing popularity and number of online exhibitions, and the continually evolving technological possibilities require information professionals to cultivate a wide range of organizational, curatorial, educational, and technical skills. From proposal design to the selection of exhibition materials, from textual descriptions to user interface design, this guide offers a useful overview of the digital exhibition development process. Author Martin Kalfatovic is Digital Projects Librarian at Smithsonian Institution Libraries and adjunct faculty member at the Catholic University School of Library and Information Science.
