 Okay, thank you cum stock and thanks everyone for being here today. I'm going to go ahead and introduce our speakers who just happened to be two of my dearest colleagues so we're so happy to have them with us. Anna Nietrauer who is joining us over zoom is the digital initiatives librarian for the Jay Willard Marriott library and a former digital matters faculty fellow. Rachel Whitman who is with us in person today is the digital curation librarian at the Jay Willard Marriott library and a treasured member of our digital matters community. Both Rachel and Anna have extensive experience in building digital collections working with metadata mapping copyright and creating online exhibits. We're so excited they can be here with us to share their extension extensive knowledge, and to help get us off the ground and building our own digital exhibits no mecca s with that I'm going to turn the time over to Anna and Rachel. Okay, great. Can everybody hear me okay. Yay, our introduction Rebecca and we'll go over how to create digital exhibits with omega s. Just due to this being a hybrid workshop it's going to be maybe slightly less interactive. And then we would normally do but we should have plenty of time for people to experiment and play around with our omega training site. Towards the end of the workshop. Feel free to put your questions in the chat. And we'll just go ahead and get started. So what we're going to cover today. I'm going to do more of an overview of what is omega, why should you care about it, a different options for hosting it. Thoughts about working with students on digital exhibits. We're going to go over a little bit of the interface dashboard and functions that you'll be able to try out yourself. So we're putting a digital exhibit or site together, and then we'll also have a good amount of time for some hands on practice and answering any specific questions that you might have. So, if you provided your email in advance of the workshop, you got an email from me. And there's a few links in that email and I'll just kind of explain what you got. So I set up a GitLab repository with these slides and also some activity materials. So if you have a few images or other forms of digital media that you want to use to create your own website, you can feel free to use those. I just want a set of four or five images to play around with. I have multiple sets of ideas for exhibit pages on that GitLab repository. I also have gotten an email with login, which I hope you are able to log in and set that up for our training site. This site will be active for around a week after the workshop, and then it's going to be disabled. So if you want to spend a little bit of time after the workshop, familiarizing yourself with the software, feel free to do that, but just be aware that it will one day vanish in a poop of smoke once Brian, our helpful IT person, disables it for us. And then Rachel also put together a really extensive LibGuide training site, all about using Omega S. So a lot of the things that we're covering in the workshop today are also available on that LibGuide. So that's just another resource for you moving forward. If you're wanting to dig into this a little bit more. So, what does a digital exhibit look like? I always like to use my favorite digital exhibit, which is one that Library partnered on with Professor Paul Reeve from the History Department, Century of Black Mormons. This is a large scale complex public history project with a lot of customizations geared specifically towards Professor Reeve's scholarship. We also have some shorter, sort of more brochure like digital exhibits on our platform, where we're showcasing some regional and historical topics, highlighting things from Marriott Library Special Collections and the Digital Library. Even more, one example of a digital exhibit that was completed by an undergraduate class is the Women in STEM digital exhibit, which was produced by a class who went out and collected oral histories from women scientists and then created a digital exhibit addressing some of those themes. Another example of a digital exhibit with undergraduate involvement is our flu pandemic in Utah exhibit, where our undergraduate student workers set up a timeline tracking dates dealing with the spread of the Spanish flu in Utah. So, just to give you an idea that you can really build these, covering a wide variety of topics and for a wide variety of purposes, whether it's a person's individual scholarship, showcasing things that might be in your collection, or a partnership with a class. If you're wanting to see what other sites are out there, Omega S has a directory of a variety of sites, and if you're wanting to check out what people have done at a variety of institutions, I really recommend visiting that site for even more inspiration. And what's handy is that they'll also give you a little bit of information about some of the customizations and bells and whistles that have gone into creating these digital exhibits. So, one thing that can be really confusing for folks is that there's two versions of the Omega the software. There's Omega Classic, and then there's Omega S. And we're obviously covering Omega S today but just to, to sort of compare and contrast. Omega Classic is an older version of it. It's is available for some cloud hosting on Omega net for free with some limited features and themes for free accounts, you can also host this on your own server. What we're using and what the Marriott Library chose to get into from the start is Omega S which is the latest version of the software it's sort of been completely rearchitected in the back end so sort of different technical infrastructure. You need to host this on your own server. So there's no kind of easy cloud based solution that you can just sign up for. It has a WordPress inspired interface if anybody's been into blogging. I find it a little bit more intuitive to use. So, if you want to do this, you're on your own, or if you want to partner with folks here at the library if you're part of the University of Utah community and your items are really focused on Marriott Library Special Collections or things that might be in the digital library. You can talk to Rachel about partnering with digital library services on a project. If your project is more centered on digital pedagogy digital humanities digital scholarship you can partner with Rebecca and the digital matters lab, and they can help get you set up with your website and here's an example of a digital matters project, the youth activists art archive, which is that's all of its hosted on the same instance of omega. Another version is to host it yourself. I haven't used this but I've heard that company called reclaim hosting has an easy install option set up for omega s if you're going to pay for your own website. At one point I have heard a rumor that University of Utah it might support this, I have not verified this, but that's another group you can certainly check in with. If you're curious about getting into building digital exhibits or digital scholarship projects. So, we've, we've been using omega s for digital exhibits for a while and we've also been dropping in and working with undergraduate digital humanities public history classes. So I'm going to take just a moment to get on my soapbox about what you're asking of undergraduate students, when you, when you are thinking. It's a good idea to do a digital exhibit, which it is a good idea. But I think it's, it's good to be aware of everything that you're asking a student to do, and how much time it's going to take for them to be really comfortable. So, essentially, they need to select and research a topic, find and curate information that might be photos primary source documents. They need to be aware of some of the copyright issues that they might be encountering. Other resources online to include in their exhibit. They need to be aware of the best practices for citing online content, and also just uploading any of their own content to the web. So, uploading things to a website. One of the strengths of omega is that it's really built for folks and libraries and museums, which means that it assumes that you're going to want to be uploading images with some accompanying description or metadata. You're not just embedding a photo, you're embedding a photo with a title of the photo, the date of the photo, other information that makes that photo findable and accessible. You're understanding how to use a content management system or web publishing platform, basic HTML certainly helps having some sense of how to write for the web is also useful. And then you're also, if you want to you can add some bells and whistles like data visualizations embedding timelines and maps. So I really think if you're going to use it in the classroom it's it's best approached with a sort of capstone project and a scaffolding approach where students are, you know, spending a few hours for several weeks, getting comfortable with these concepts and these new skills. Because even though people talk about students being digital natives. A lot of these are kind of old school web publishing skills that people might not be aware of. Any questions so far. I'm going to keep on going. Things Omega s isn't. It's not a replacement for a large scale digital library repository, like the Marriott libraries digital library. It's not a digital preservation solution, it is not forever so we'll do our best the library to keep our exhibits up for as long as possible that like anything on the web, you know, things can change, or become out of date so just keep that in mind. One thing that I found really helpful when I was first starting to get into digital exhibits is to think of the information in them kind of like content blocks or Lego bricks. So you need content or text but you also need the things that go along with your text. So that might be a photo it might be a text PDF newspaper video multimedia sound different types of digital objects that you can upload for your exhibit. And the outline that I think is really kind of handy is to think of a digital exhibit is having four to five pages, one to three paragraphs of text per page, and four to five visual elements per page and there could always be exceptions to this. But when you haven't done this before I think it helps just to have this kind of idea in the back of your mind when you're thinking about developing something. So to talk a little bit about writing for the web, since we are essentially setting up websites. When we build digital exhibits. Think a little bit about your audience and how they might be approaching your site. Some of the digital exhibits that the library has are sort of designed to be like pretty casual. We're not having a ton of text in there. So I think that Black Mormons has a long biographical essays because it just has a different goal for for its audience. So think of ways to be concise, break up your content, use the active voice, assume that people are going to be scanning your content and write accordingly. What you'll see in a little bit when Rachel does her demo is that Omega S supports creating content blocks, which really helps with developing small sections of Web page and then breaking it up with different visual elements. I'm going to go through this real quick and then Rachel will go through it again and then you'll have some time to practice yourself. So when you log in to a busy digital exhibit site, you would see something like this. This is the Marriott Libraries exhibit site where you can see that we have really a shared authoring environment where we have multiple sites set up for digital exhibits. We have multiple items, resource templates and vocabularies and I'm going to go over those really quick in just a little bit. So items as I mentioned it could be a sound it could be an image here we can see some folks recently have been uploading both images and a lot of sound clips. And these are the kind of little pieces of things that can then go into your digital exhibit site. You can create buckets for your items, and that's item sets and so this is really handy because this is very much a shared environment like I was mentioning so you can see here Rachel has a project where she's working on images of matchbooks. And you probably don't want to mingle that in with Jessica's Mining in the West curricula. So you can create multiple collections. You can have a website and you can have multiple collections that feed into it so if you'll notice he has sliced and diced some of his items, according to specific criteria like was this person baptized internationally, or was this person baptized in Utah because he wants to be able to visualize those individuals in different ways. So if you have the option to create customized resource templates for items. And I don't think we're going to spend a ton of time on this but just want to let you know that that's available. So if you have a scholarship project with very specific data structure needs there's usually a way to support that in Omega s. So as an example, I've put up two resource templates here. You can see on one side the one for digital exhibits item looks very library any because it has things like title creator date rights subject relation description. This is a classic Dublin core metadata fields for anyone who's a huge fan of Dublin core. I certainly am. And then century of black Mormons though, it has fields that are really geared towards this historical scholarship project so Dublin core was not a good match for this project and so we work together to come up with a separate site that had fields like birthplace deathplace name gender confirmation slave of baptism, faith transition and priesthood and that was what Professor we've needed for his public digital history project. It can be a little bit tricky to set this up but so far I think we've been pretty successful in developing customized templates for folks when they have a specific need with their scholarship. And now I'm going to stop and I think Rachel's going to go ahead and do more of a live demo of adding items to America. And then you guys can try this out on your own. Can everyone see my screen alright. I'm going to hide controls. Okay so innocent out the email with the link to the training exhibit and set everybody up who had registered for the workshop with access I just want to make sure everyone was able to successfully log in. If there was any issues with logging in. Definitely put it in the chat and someone will help you because I can't see it. So we're going to go ahead and log in and I'm going to take you through the very basic steps of how to get started on creating your exhibit site. And again it's just very basic stuff. There's probably a lot different ways to do things and more capabilities within omega s but this is just to get you started. So when you log in as Anna said you'll have a dashboard where you can see, you know the sites and resources that are currently being tracked. I typically use the pain over on the left here to navigate in and out of different sections of the exhibit site. And before you get started and I'm sure you would do this anyways but I recommend getting like at least an outline and some you know work together before you just start diving into you know creating an exhibit but today feel free to like go ahead and start your own site. I think we also created, let's see here I'm going to click on my site tab. I don't know what you all can see but there might be a practice site if you want to go ahead and start playing around in there while I'm giving this little brief demo feel free. So to get started you want to create a site and should be very intuitive up on the upper right hand side says add new site. So I'm just going to create one here. And you can not do demo. If your URL mattered to you, you could customize you know the URL, you can add a summary there which I usually don't. For the theme. Oh my goodness, the Marriott library default theme is here now. So I should click that. I'm going to, before it was just one so I was going to do it on the bare bones, a method out of the box theme. This is basically how you can change the style and layout of your exhibit. So you could change your, you know, the layout colors font based on what type of theme that you select. And I'm going to hit add for this one for the live demo but I'm actually going to take you back to another set site that I already created because I needed to do a little legwork so let's pretend I just created animals in the archive that's going to be our demo for today. So I'm going to go down and look at this tab here where I can actually now change this to the Marriott library default theme, and that's the one that if you are working, you know you're a Marriott library user. This is the theme that you most likely be working with because it's amazing. And we have done a lot of work on it. To get started, I would follow these tabs over here on the left hand side, and the site admin it's really if you wanted to change the title change the URL of your exhibit. There's some really under the hood mechanics here I'm not going to get into right now that you can do in terms of changing some controls on the back end for a page. You can add pages to your exhibit here like Anna mentioned having four or five different pages and these are essentially sections within the website. Let's take a look at cats which I've already made I just want to give you a preview of what a page will look like on the back end, and then what it'll look like on the front end. On the back here, you can basically see the different building blocks in the center where it says media embed HTML, another media item. I'm going really fast more HTML. And I created this already but in order to do that you use these blocks here on the right, and I'll take you through like the top three ones or four that you'll be using. But this is what you know page looks like on the back end. On the front end, you know, this is essentially what that'll look like so you have your blocks of images and text, and depending on how you align them shall get into. And then we can have a row of images and even a PDF item this isn't a pretty page, I will be the first to admit that but these are just some of the essential steps that you'll need to get started. So I'm going to go back to my pages here, and I'm going to add a new page for dogs and create my URL. Click add and let's say I'm going to add some text, and here's a big warning about omega s I don't recommend doing any creative writing in these text boxes I recommend doing that in a different document and then copying and pasting it into your HTML block because when omega is open for an extended period of time maybe like a half an hour or so and then you click save you might get kicked an error message and I have lost work I know other people have lost work in terms of, you know, just doing some style writing in here is a is a dangerous slippery slope that's all I'm going to say. So I have already generated some doggo if them. And let's say this is my creative writing to me go ahead and paste it in here, and you can see there's a pop up menu here so you can do some customization you can add hyperlink. You can do some different heading styles. So if I wanted to do a section here on terriers heading to you can do different sizes very similar so you would use with Word documents. And if you wanted to get into the HTML markup, if you feel comfortable doing that you can click on that source tab, and just, you know, go to town here with various, you know, iframes if you wanted to embed an iframe other sort of HTML shortcuts there. So let's say I wanted to add an image but I hadn't already gotten started yet so I'm going to go ahead and click save another thing you want to click save a lot like it's the early 2000s nothing is going to save for you if you don't click the save button so that's definitely something to get used to. Let's just view real quick so you can see that we're building our page so the text is on there. So to get media added to the site, let's go to our item sets because we'll actually want to create an item set like Anna said it's the bucket. It's a way to group media items together and then assign that bucket to your exhibit site and it just makes it a lot easier to add items. So in the training instance, there's not much here but as you kind of saw a preview, I, there are thousands of items currently in the Marriott libraries instance of omega s so it can be a lot to navigate. So to add a new item set it's super simple you just click the button on the upper right thing add new item set, I've already added one we're going to work with but I'll just make one for show here digital exhibit exhibits item is the resource that I recommend that we actually kind of copied over from our library instance and this is the real Dublin for based one it's very bare bones. So I'm going to go ahead and just create a title for the item set, click save, and let's pretend that I just made the animals in the archive item set because we're going to go back here. So this is really the one we're going to be working with and if you have you're welcome to play around with this and use it in your exhibit if you want to play around I've added a mix of media basically images and a couple PDF documents that we can play around with. But I want to add a new item so I'll show you up here you just click add a new item on the always on the upper right hand corner. I'm going to select the digital exhibits item because that's the metadata template that we're working with for my exhibit. I'm going to have an image in mind that I want to use, and it's in the digital library, because we often use things from the digital library and here it is. So, let's pretend I've already downloaded this and have it saved on my computer. So I'm going to do some metadata really quickly, not a metadata that you use will really depend on your project, your exhibit needs. Obviously us in the digital library service department are very keen on including as much metadata as we possibly can so if it's there we typically include it. If you have don't have it it's not going to appear on your record so don't worry about a bunch of blank fields that will show up. So in terms of what we recommend, we really recommend you at least have a title. If a date a creator of an item. I'm just making this up. So don't hold me to the fire here, and then also linking to the item. If it is published somewhere else on the internet and that's where you got the item from. And that way users of the exhibit can essentially browse other resources you're also getting proven us to that item. And also, like for us we have very robust metadata listed in our digital library that we can point people to in case we have a very, you know, succinct, abbreviated list of metadata items in our digital exhibit. So I'm going to take the record. I'm going to click you are I because I basically want to create a hyperlink in my record that just says view in digital library. So that means when they look at the metadata record, they'll just see this hyperlink view and digital library. So long we recommend a right statement, even if it is one of the common right statement to find in our digital library which is copyright not evaluated, but at least that will put, you know, the onus on the potential re user to investigate further. So that's the first step is doing the metadata and we're working through the tabs up here that you can see. So values and next I'll go to media and I'm going to upload choose the file on my computer. Oh nice. Here we are. I'm going to add some girls and dogs. And then just one more tab, we're going to do the item sets, and I'm going to go ahead and add it to animals in the archive. And the first three are really the most important values media and item set, the one sites advanced in mapping, I haven't really dabbled with the whole bunch so they're not quite necessary at this point. So we've added our item, let's go back to our site. And we need to make sure that our item set is actually added to our exhibit site so you would go to your resources tab. So we're going to item sets, add animals in the archive and click save. So you'll need to make sure that the item set under your resources tab is assigned to your exhibit in order for things to work right so let's go back to dog. Okay, so now I'm ready to add some media was pretend I uploaded 20 items or so. The three most commonly used building blocks on the right again HTML so that's your text item showcase will add you can add a row of media through the media in bed you can add individual image and make it quite large and you can left align center it or right align. And then there's something called the universal viewer that is a really nifty interface front ends and you can zoom in on items and you can also move through pages of a PDF document really nicely So I recommend universal viewer for PDF documents and also for high resolution images that you would want the user to zoom it on from the front end of your exhibit site. So let's go ahead and add some media to these three just so you can see how work to click add attachment. I'm going to add my twin girls and always in hit apply changes. So you can see it appears over here, but let's say I want to do a row of like a couple items here. Add that. And then I'm going to add another one lover of three. Snowmobiles sounds good. So I've added that and I click save. And we'll go ahead and view it for preview you can always preview what you're working on. It looks like two of them are on there. I don't know what happens to the third I must have not I'm just a final step here. And you can keyword search like I know I saw dogs and snowmobiles. If I spelled that right. I'll just try dog. There we go. By changes. And this is all really exciting stuff. You can see there's the row of three images there. Let's do another thing you can do. So I want to add an HTML block you can drag these around and reorder them. I don't want to. There we go. So I'm going to do another little block of doggo it's some just actually pretty big so I want to make that smaller one. And then for media and bed. This is again where you can do your really big images. Helpies and sock hanging from a clothesline that sounds good. Okay. And when you add this you do have options here to change different sizes. You can align left right or center. I'm going to do center. You can also change what metadata is shown on the image on the front end so my click save. And we can just take a look. There we go. And then let's say lastly I want to add a document. So this is where I would use my universal viewer. Again, it's the same process for everything at attachment walking the dog effect. I consider getting a dog just so I'll walk more but I saw that wasn't a good idea. And then click save. And you can go ahead and scroll down. And let's say I would have more text on this page but that's just the essential of getting started. Another key thing to do is go to your navigation. You might have noticed only the welcome and the cat is appearing here so if I want to add something to my navigation, I go down the bottom and click it. Add it here, click save. I can reorder these. I can also nest pages underneath other pages so we have sub pages. Click save. Make sure your resources you've got your items that associated you could also set user permission so let's say, you know, I don't want Anna to be able to do work on my site anymore and click save or if I want to add somebody specifically to it. That's how you would do that there. And I think. And the theme again now you guys need to play around with our new default theme which I'm very excited about. And I don't know if we have time to really get into all the fancy back end cool features that Leah has worked on for these but it is in the live guide a little bit so if we have time maybe we can go through that later but I just want to make sure people have time to try it out on their own and ask questions. So, anything else? Is everyone still awake? That's good. So I think this is like sort of more like hands on time and so everyone should have gotten a link to the live guide. Come lay down in your bed and we'll keep our sleeping areas separate for a while. And I'll put some of these also in the chat so you can get to them. So, hold on just a second and yeah does anybody have any questions so far? I have a question people might have. So, if someone at the University of Utah, a faculty member, a student wants to work with the Marriott Library, is anyone able to ask if they're a University of Utah affiliate to have a Nomeca site through the Marriott Library or what are the rules on that? I don't know that there are specific rules so I think they'd have a conversation with you if they're doing digital mattersy stuff or they'd have a conversation with Rachel if they're doing digital library stuff. Just to kind of see what the nature of the project is and if they would want to partner with the library on that. Thanks. I think David had his hand up too. Yeah, sorry if you've already covered this but I was wondering, what is like the sweet spot in terms of size of digital, number of digital assets for Nomeca site? Like is there theoretically if you had, you know, a database with like let's say thousands and thousands of assets, would that be something too big for Nomeca to handle? I don't think that anything would necessarily be too big for it to handle. I uploaded 60,000 items into our instance of Nomeca S for a project that Jeremy and I were working on. Basically like metadata records if that makes sense, but a century of Black Mormons I would guess has like thousands of items in its database. So I think it really depends on the nature of the scholarship project and how you want to set it up. You might have more of a desire for people to like browse documents, you know, or like interact with materials directly or, you know, you might have more of a curated experience where you're embedding things into web pages. So a plug to for the Slip Guide that I've finished but I can still add stuff to it, treat things if you notice anything. This is a really good step by step, especially for the Marriott Library users on how to do everything that I just sort of, you know, went through here and there's also a link to the Night Lab has some really cool storytelling plugins essentially where you can create a timeline, you can do a story map. They have an, I think I feature just a couple here, but if you actually just look on their website. There's some pretty nifty things you can do with essentially just a Google Sheets template and then you fill that out and you get the link and embed it into a page. And it'll appear as, you know, like an interactive feature on your exhibit. So this is something really cool that you can use free to kind of spruce up your exhibit and storytelling. Yeah, but if if people want to log into the training site and just experiment a little bit with uploading items and setting up web pages feel free to do that and then we can be on hand to help with your with any questions that you have. Heroko is asking is there something to keep in mind or precautions to be taken for uploading a personal image that you own. I would say like same precautions that you would be if you were posting, you know, like an image of yours on the open web, like, you know, Facebook or anything like that just that once it's once it's out there on the internet. Other people could snag it potentially. So it's also specifically, you know, like an issue. For folks who are interested in working with undergrads at the U because the materials that they create are their intellectual property. So usually when we're doing a exhibit with with anyone from outside the library we have them sign the library's permission to publish agreement which allows us to publish their materials on the web. So we're still had a hand raised. Oh, okay. Hi, so this actually is related to incorporating this into undergraduate classrooms. I have a couple of questions. One is, if you have undergraduates who are working on one collective sites, would they create individual accounts and does it link on the back end for them to add pages to the one site. Yeah, you can you can you can do it that way. So you can have multiple users assigned to one website and they can all contribute to them. I think with the women in STEM exhibit, like this is our big example of collaborative undergraduate digital exhibit that Rachel Mason Dentinger worked on she's in the history department. To be honest, I think that she found herself doing a lot of editing after her students initially worked on the exhibit. And I think she had a group approach where her students were working on specific themes together. So maybe one of them was really working on doing the mechanics of the page building in Omega and another one and another student might have been working more on the research or coming up with other materials. But I think it really depends on how you want to organize your class and you know that's something that we would be able to talk about. You know if this is something that you are wanting to get into. Okay, and then I guess the other question I guess has to do with maybe it has to do with instructor description discretion but I get, I was wondering about recommendations on producing this and making it go live. Is it, is it when it comes to kind of sharing undergraduate work I guess like you mentioned that you would recommend them doing a capstone project or something that's just scaffolded. So there are options to. How do I to publish it but it are there options to publish it without. I guess putting it out on the web does that. So, so one of the things, one of the things that I did for a block you class in the early stages of the pandemic they were supposed to do physical exhibit. They were not working out. So I helped them create a digital exhibit. But they, they were not necessarily comfortable with all their work being on the open web. So it was sort of put up for a limited time period, and then one thing that we didn't go through when we were doing the demos. You can, you can click on this little I thing on the site to make it either visible or invisible. So, so doing something and having it available for a very limited amount of time is an option, or doing something and having it set for private is also an option. But again I think with undergrads just to make sure that they understand. You know the implications of having their, their work on the open web. Before getting into that as a class. You know that's just something that you could have a conversation about and see what they feel like David's asking if we can put a robots dot text on the site. Maybe I don't think with the tiered sort of like big collaborative structure of omega s that we could exclude it from one exhibit and not exclude it from others. I think we'd have to use that little icon to make it private or not private. And that would be the solution to that. And I think Luke had a hand up to. Thank you. Yeah, my question is actually about the eye. So in the item set for example you can make an item set private. And who is that making it private to is that like so other people who have access to our instance can't see my item set or does that mean that it won't get published. I think it's, you know, there are like six different tiers of users user levels with omega. So I am not sure at what granular level. I think it for sure if the eye is is has a straight through it. The public or people who are not logged in to the omega site would not be able to see it. And then, depending on how the omega administrator is setting up user levels and access to the site. So basically, if you're just developing one exhibit, you're, you're the person that has access to it you don't necessarily see your things going into a shared pool. But Rachel and I have like access to everything. So, like, on the merit library site. We see whatever anybody's putting in. Gotcha, so that you would just use that if you wanted to make sure that it wouldn't get published to the open web. Yeah, yeah, do that. Yeah, I tend to think of that. Yeah, and you can set you can set very granular levels of permission so you can make an item invisible to the open web. You can make a page invisible to the open web or you can make an entire website invisible to the open web. So that's kind of crazy but it's just, if you want to do that for a page that you're maybe drafting, and you don't want people to stumble across it until it's done. That's a great way to do that. It can be a little nuts if you've like hidden 20 items and then you need to go back and click that button 20 times to make it visible again. So just just something to keep track of. Thank you. Yeah. Great question. Sorry, I didn't touch on the eye. Yeah, that's public and public. Yeah, there's I mean we really just kind of scratch the surface of this. So if you, if you do want to log in and work on creating some of your own pages, asking questions. Everyone who's in this workshop will have access to the site for a week or so and I can see that people are already creating their own sites. So you can feel free to shoot Rachel and me an email. If you have any specific questions to. Oh, Luke has his hand raised again. We have a live hand as well. Oh, live hand sorry. Hey, go ahead, Luke. Is that okay. Is it a follow up to what you were asking. No, I just forgot to put it down. I just put it. Go ahead. I had a question about using both of these items. Is there a way to link, like, say you've had audio file and the transcript. Is there a good way to link those two connected. I'm going to repeat the question so people can hear it okay. So that could be an issue. So the question is in our, in our digital library we have oral histories which often are usually PDFs but now we're getting some audio files to which is amazing. So how is how can we display both the audio and the media and make sure that they're linked together. I'm not at that this is new territory I mean I know we can do the PDF. And we should be able to do the audio files separately in terms of uploading them but linking them together as like the same record the way it displays in the digital library. But that's some fancy. What do you think? I am also, I'm also not sure. So my response to that is that if you're, if you're working on that and that's, you know, a project that you're partnering on with the library, we would kind of investigate and see how that might be possible. And I'm just going to show. Let me stop share. Oh no, you're fine I'm just going to put a link in the chat. I think if I can find like a good example of like a little bit of a clip with an oral history because we have done that a little bit. But, and I think who is it who's working on the, the street. Yeah. Maybe there will be an exhibit up. Okay. Yeah. I think one of the issues with the oral history to is that you know you have two hours of audio and kind of like getting that quote that exact, you know, extra clip in the shorter. Yeah, I think it'll be good for the user. I know it's a lot of work. Yeah, I think we should talk about it. You know, you might be able to do something interesting with item sets. You can you can also upload multiple items as part of an item, which is like kind of crazy, but you can have multiple photos. In one item. So that might be a way to, to keep things together but whether or not that results in a user experience that's good for people. I would experiment with that try and take one of your sound clips and throw a PDF in that same item, you know Mecca and see what it looks like universal viewer maybe try that, because you can do multiple. Now I don't think that would help but but let's let's talk about it. Yeah, no worries. Get some high high level questions. Yeah, go ahead. Another complicated question. So, you mentioned you can embed, you know, like I friends and other things like video and audio. You also do like 3D imagery that kind of thing. I don't know. The question is, can we embed 3D imagery. And I would say if you have a, like a link, we can definitely. Is it something that it would be a file that you upload or would it be a link to embed. Either a link or an eye frame kind of embed option. Yeah, you should be able to. We haven't done it yet. See if it see if it works or not I think it depends on what kind of web, like browser based viewer you would need to have for that image file and whether or not. Oh, Mecca would support that or not. Yeah, go ahead. So thank you for asking because, you know, in order to add things you want to go to you want to create an item set ideally first. If it is like test or whatever, create the item set, and then go to items under resources and click add new items. And this is where you'll work through these first three tabs here on the left. So you'll select a media template, which we're using digital exhibit item, which is pretty common you might have a customized metadata template and this is where you'll put in the template for your item, and you can always go back and change this metadata so let's say you're just like I just need to get this image up, you know, you can do that on the fly with just sparse metadata. Go to your media file upload and media file. Let's see, I have a bunch. Here's so I have just a title I'm just going like really fast. I added the media file, the title and then I'm going to add it to my item set and things like add. And then it should be in there. And you have, these are all from the olive bully Bert, most of them collection which is pretty amazing if you wanted to see a bunch of cute pictures of ridiculous images of animals that were used in press photos, I'm not really sure their purpose but she wrote a lot of books. Prolific writer, very interesting woman from Utah. Any questions or do you want to show I do like an iframe in bed. Live demo, who wanted to do that or are we on time. Great because we had we had allocated to 230 we don't have to use all the time, but we are okay on time right now. I think you should show it how to embed an iframe because that's really useful. Okay, both go to animals in the archive. I'm going to go to pages. Let's just do dogs again. I'm going to do an HTML block. I'm going to go to YouTube and grab a video you can upload a media item like when you go to upload, you know an item you can actually upload a YouTube video. But when you do that you can't customize the size of the video as it displays so I kind of like just doing the iPhone. So, I'm going to go to YouTube. Just, wow, anything you know what I'm going to grab corgis. I love corgis. Okay, and then usually like what's great about some websites will just give you the code to work from bed. I'm going to grab this and go back to my HTML block so I can't just copy and paste it in there I have to make sure that I hit the source to get into the HTML mode and that's kind of something you might forget. I'm going to click OK. And then you'll see a preview of it, you know, if it loads correctly I'm going to click save we can see it down here. And then view is just really busy here. And then you could do some sort of if you wanted to in the HTML code change the height, you know if I wanted this to be bigger. So, that's really big 700 pixel. I'm not sure what I'm doing here but kind of get the idea, I hope. And it looks like it's left aligning I'm sure there's a way I can get it to center in HTML. I'm not going to attempt to look that up and figure it out I don't think right now. Maybe I broke it. And there we go. So you can kind of change the display in the iframe code and I have a section on. Let's see where's my live guide about embedding other websites. So, you know, like if you wanted to embed an infographic let's say we should be really common, you know here are the instructions on how to do that. Like for a map, for example, any sort of interactive data visualization tool they're using like tab will public is great you can embed all kinds of features into your page. And what you do have, you know, quite a bit of blocks here and let's say I wanted to add another HTML and then I wanted to move it, you will drag you will need to like drag carefully. So, if I wanted to reorder some stuff, you know, I would just go like little bits by little bits here because you can. If you have a lot on your page, it can be a lot to drag around and you might end up dragging an image into a text box by accident but you can hit control Z and undo. If you happen to do that by accident. Another common thing with HTML you might want to do is like do columns on your page, for example. That's another thing that I have included in the live guide on how to do that. I think I hope which this is in no way exhaustive of what HTML can do. But I know you all are really smart. You can do a column this way appear like this if you wanted to add text there. Any questions or has anyone tried to make a site. Good. Now we take a look at it. I'm playing it's called my kids practice site I just made a page for each of my kids photos I have the most accessible. I don't make it. My kids. Did you make it on the main Marriott library. I'm going to delete it don't worry but yeah it might be on the main that's where I automatically log in. I think you probably did that's okay. But I'll delete it. I'm going to add the item set to your site. I'm going to come over and check it out. Sometimes with the item sets it gets a little tricky because you can assign users who have access to the item sets and then you can also assign sites that have access to the item sets as part of their resources. So it gets it gets sometimes a little bit tricky and granular and setting these things up but usually it's just a little bit of finicky stuff at the start of a project and then it's not too bad. Yeah and does anyone have any questions who's joining from zoom you can feel free to put your questions in the chat or just you know unmute yourself and ask questions. I have a maybe comment slash question. This looks like it could work pretty well just with an eye frame for something like photo spheres like if I had 360 photos that I just wanted to kind of pan around on. I think I would have to probably host like the navig like the panning navigation and stuff like that would have to be hosted, you know, externally in that I frame. I mean, or is that something that like does it handle like panoramic photos or 360 photos internally or is that more of like a linking out to. I honestly we have not done that yet so I would like upload it see what happens and then see if having it as an item and omega works or if you need to do it with that kind of I frame, you know external approach. Oh, thank you. Mm hmm. I have never seen that before. Um, let's go into your team settings and let's make sure that you have to see the Marriott library default because that's the fancy. I'm asking if you're interested in doing a library collections digital exhibit how would you initiate a partnership with Rachel. What would the partnership entail. Yes, send Rachel an email. I mean email Marnie. Pretty easy. I don't know why but it's weird. So like, when I click on it, and none of that is in my. I mean a lot of strange things in terms of partnering with things. Usually what we'll do is set you up with the site. Yeah, and we can we can consult with you individually I'm just fully, you know, volunteering Rachel here but, but she would be able to meet with you individually about the needs for your project site because sometimes, depending on the project there, there might be just, you might want a different metadata template or you might need some different plugins or something and Rachel can help facilitate those conversations. And once you kind of dive in and have access to a site. Oh, I'm glad that Marnie likes the double and that's good. Once you once you dive in and have access to a site. It's usually not not too bad and getting something up and running. And you know if there's no questions because we're playing around to I'll just touch on the new the Marriott library default theme that we have. So this is really fancy. You could talk about it. Leah, do you want to talk about your super cool theme. Sure. Well, the, the main difference is that it just gives you some UI customization options and then also just defaults to a lot of the kind of standard looking feel of the library exhibit sites. So, you have the ability to say change the navigation from being a horizontal on the top to being a vertical on the left. You can change link colors and background colors and fonts for your site. So, I don't know, do you want. Did you want to demo some of those. Let's see. It's hard to think of hexadecimal like color codes off the top of your head. Yeah, give me like a code for. The main you read is pound. And then CC 0000. And then you can see on the right here is how that color pops up. So that means like any link in my body of text will be that color. Yep. I wanted to change the text color. I don't know. Let's say I wanted to have a dark background and a light color font. This is where you could do some of that sort of customization. I think Anna showed a preview of the youth archivist exhibit which I can maybe get to. I did that on their own before Leah came up with her really awesome theme. I think so. So there are ways you can get around with customizing sites, but the theme that Leah made just makes it so much easier. And that unfortunately I think is something that's just available on the Marriott libraries instance of Omega. It's not, it's not available, available for anyone to use. But that can that can really help if you want to customize the look of your digital exhibit it really makes it very easy to do that. So if we can do a left nav bar. Instead of the main top one that is usually custom, you know out of the box that's how they are background navigation. Like there's a lot of nifty, you know features in here. In case you're, you know, wondering how you can do this for the Marriott library users we do. Thanks to Leah have a lot of options at our fingertips to play around with. And I can go and add a hyperlink to one of my pages and show you. I don't know what this is. I'm just going to grab a link and make it. So to add a link you would just highlight, you know, go to the I think we're all kind of familiar with the little link feature there. Paste it in. I always recommend opening to a new window. That's my thing. You know, it helps users when they start opening a bunch of resources to keep your exhibit site open. Let's go ahead and view that and make sure that's the link. Yep, see that looks like a Utah red. Yep. Nice. I'm going to go ahead and change if I wanted to edit theme settings again and go and change some font. So let's say I want Montserrat, Montserrat, see what that looks like. And once I have one of these preview pages open, you can just refresh it. I have like, it'll just like keep opening up a million different tabs here. Change background colors, pretty cool stuff. Link colors. You can do some font manipulation in HTML if you don't have this theme. I can stop. Any questions or anything else I could demo? Yeah, we might be kind of reaching the end of this. I think everyone who's in the workshop, you should have Rachel's email. You should have my email. I'm sure you also have Rebecca's email. As you're kind of like go off, feel free to experiment with the training site for around a week. And then if you're at the University of Utah and you want to get into digital exhibits, really feel free to get in touch with us and we can talk about what you're interested in doing. Anything else you would add, Rachel? No, we'd love to hear from you and get some more exhibits since we have a new theme and a really cool presence with our digital exhibits. We'd love to do more. And that's okay, Rebecca, that I'm volunteering you if digital matters folks want digital exhibits also. So, yeah. Yeah, this was so great. Thank you so much, Rachel and Anna. We appreciate it. I just have one additional announcement that we do have DHU 6 coming up February 25 and 26 and registration is still open. It's only $10 I think for students and $30 for everyone else. I just added a link and there's a lot of digital matters people and friends of digital matters presenting. So if you are, you know, I know a lot of people have been keeping an eye on case counts because it is an in person meeting. But if you're comfortable going, it's February 25 and 26 and I added that link in the chat. And other than that, thank you to our presenters. Can everyone join me in a zoom. Yay. Thanks everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for coming today.
