The session presents an overview of three online exhibition platforms in use at American University--WordPress, ESRI StoryMaps, and Omeka S. Panelists will describe the features of each platform, with a focus on how to help researchers choose amongst them for their particular use cases. Participants will see some examples of recent faculty and/or student projects.

The session also covers supporting these platforms in an academic setting, including details about a series of workshops developed collaboratively by the Library and the Center for Teaching, Research, and Learning.

1. How are researchers using online exhibition platforms at your institution?
2. How are you or your institution supporting them?
3. What benefits/drawbacks do you see in these tools in terms of advancing research?
