Course Requirements
For this workshop, it's essential to come prepared to get hands-on with Omeka S. Here's what you should have ready:
-
3-5 Items: Identify 3-5 digital entities you'd like to upload as Items in your Omeka S. You will need some metadata and some type of media file for each of these things that represents a person, place, thing, event, or something else. You can use your own data or compile a list of URLs from sources like Wikipedia or https://www.loc.gov/ to serve as the basis for your Items.
-
Data in a Spreadsheet: If you're interested in importing Items, you can prepare your Item data in a spreadsheet format. We'll walk you through the process of transforming this data into something that can be imported into your Omeka S installation.
As the workshop date approaches, we'll also request your email address if you don't have access to our sandbox. However, if you prefer to work with your own Resources, feel free to invite us to your installation. We're here to assist and answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to a productive and informative training session, where you'll gain the skills to effectively manage your digital cultural heritage collections using Omeka S.
Participants will receive a zoom link prior to the workshop.
