Combining low cost or free DAM tools and WordPress, scholars, librarians and faculty curate teaching and research collections with robust, searchable metadata. What is the workflow from discovery to presentation? This workflow evolves as institutions build digital collections but don’t necessarily address individual collections or scholarly curation of institutional collections.Using faculty teaching and research collections, this session will focus on organizing, metadata and the use of WordPress for publication. We will explore tools that work well together and how to build a dynamic collection with these tools.
Attendees will learn
- About a selection of tools that work well together,
- Rudiments of how to build a dynamic collection with WordPress as the presentation platform,
- How to make the most of institutional and non-institutional assets in a curated collection.
