The document discusses the New City Library's use of Omeka, an open-source digital collection management tool, to create digital collections and exhibits. Some key goals for Omeka collections at the library are to provide context for digitized newspapers, create a platform for digital exhibits, and develop a database for newspaper clippings. The library is using Omeka to compile lists of Civil War correspondence from local newspapers and improve optical character recognition. Digital exhibits on topics like the Civil War and Clarkstown help tell stories using a variety of digitized sources.

Notes de l'éditeur
- We have digitized the civil war era newspapers, but recently I had decided that is not enough to put it out there. We need to pull out content and I guess the buzzzword is curate it.
- Here is a record for a newspaper article we uploaded. You can create tags which become hyperlinks and on the back end you can manage the tags and create your own local controlled vocabulary. There is also a plugin which incorporates loc subject headings.
- This viewer allows users to easily read pdfs that have been uploaded.
- Here one of the newspaper clippings we scanned is incorporated into the telling of the story of the african american role in the civil war locally.
- Digital exhibits allow us to do much more than we can in a small display case that I commandeered for local history exhibits. Plus we can keep the thing going even after the physical display ends.
- Images from a book, a map, and a census record retrieved from ancestry help us tell the story of the early german immigration to rockland county and their role in the civil war.
- From the illustrated london news in 1861 I purchased from ebay for about $20. it shows general louis blenker who had a farm in new city and was a german revolutionary who oragnized the 1st german rifles.
- These allow you to do a variety of things, such as allowing people to share items on social media and customize the css of your site. We’ll talk about a few more specifically in the next few slides.
- COMMA-SEPARATED VALUES; we used this while I was at the nyack library to upload an obituary index.
- Allows for people to contribute digital items and allows you to set terms for those contributions and ask patrons questions
- Choose a plan, free or fee, $299 gold plan is what we use giving us unlimited plugins, sites, themes and 5gb of storage
- Digitizing can bring you more items for your collections.
