Short Description: This workshop introduces attendees to the open source software, Omeka, and how the University of Toronto Library has made it compatible with the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). Instructors will explore how we use Omeka at the library to support classes and faculty research. Attendees will get a chance to experiment with Omeka and the plugins to do the following: ingest IIIF manifests from other institutions and/or ingest their own JPEG images from desktop, annotate images, reorder images and edit metadata, share their work online, create an exhibit with their work and other tasks as time permits. In this way, attendees will get a feel for what this suite of plugins and Omeka can do and their potential in a research and teaching environment. Instructors will also discuss the future of IIIF and how this work affects academic research across several disciplines.
Participants should bring a laptop computer to the session!
