Course description

Japan Search is a portal (like Europeana) to search Japan related open access resources from museums and libraries.

In this workshop we will introduce what kind of resources you can find. Using tools to make your own gallery, you will learn how to make a structured website with your theme with visual resources and texts. 

After a mid-session break you make your own gallery.

We will wrap up with presentations of each others galleries, and finish with questions or comments regarding the course.
