Omeka

[Siciliano Luigi]

Here at the Library of the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen, in northern Italy, we plan to use Omeka to publish pictures and descriptions of the items stored at the so called Didactic workshop of the Faculty of the Education of our University. These items are mainly toys and support materials for teachers working in kindergarten/primary/middle schools.

The prototype we are working on is available here: http://www.unibz.it/lernwerkstatt
Most metadata values are in german right now, but I guess you can have a general idea anyway.
We found so far that Omeka is very easy to learn and to use: that was for us really important.

Best regards,

Luigi

I would just briefly point out the hosted version of Omeka if you have not already looked at it : omeka.net. It has the one-size-fits-all shortcomings that others have already described but if this is your first foray into online exhibits it offers an easy and scalable entry. Something you can experiment with at no (or little) cost. I use it for a non-work site http://fire.omeka.net/ that I make some time for. You can see other hosted examples here: http://info.omeka.net/showcase/

Good luck, Ed

Just wondering if anyone is using this and what you think of it.  A colleague is considering Omeka and asked me if I knew anything about it.  Since I don't, I thought it would be good to ask all the smart people I know.

http://omeka.org

Omeka is a free, flexible, and open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions.

Thanks,
