Learn to use Omeka S for free to transform your institution or your résumé
A complete, hands-on course: from zero to publishing your own online repository
With Libnamic's ten years of experience working with Omeka and institutions
Managing and disseminating heritage is not always easy
Especially without the right tool. What do we usually find?
Software privativo, antiguo o rígido (o todas las anteriores)
- Contracts that have to be renewed year after year, even though they add nothing new, and at absurd prices
- Not very flexible. It seems written in stone. Making changes is impossible or very expensive. They are also sometimes hard to use.
- They are not up to date with the latest interoperability standards: your repository remains isolated. Forget about Europeana.
Lack of information
- You don't know where to start
- The tutorials you find stay at the most basic and obvious level
- You have no way to test the applications you find because you lack advanced computer skills
- The content is too theoretical and you have to figure things out on your own
- The world changes rapidly and it's not easy to keep up
