Did you know that scholars can build attractive, informative websites with no prior experience in coding or website development?

Janelle Lyons, the Oral History Metadata Creation, Records Management and Content Curation graduate intern, will share her process of creating a website with Omeka S, a tool provided by the Libraries’ UFLib Domains service.

Omeka S is available to UF scholars and students who are collaborating with a librarian on a project or collection. Janelle will show how students and emerging professionals can use this new service to create a curated site. Using her own work as an example, showcasing interview clips from the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program digital collection, she will present on the basics of creating an Omeka S website, providing helpful tips and emphasizing the platform’s user-friendly features.

Featured Event Speaker:

Janelle Lyons is the intern with the graduate internship program Oral History Metadata Creation, Records Management and Content Curation. She received her MA in International Affairs from The George Washington University. Starting last summer, she worked with staff from the libraries’ Digital Services and Resources Description and also staff from the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program to dedupe and update the digital content hosted by UF Digital Collections. She also participated in establishing and maintaining SPOHP’s internal database. During the last phase of her internship, she started an Omeka S site where she applied her learning about SPOHP’s metadata standards and developed her collection curation skills. She found Omeka S easy to use and would like to share her experience.
