Overview: How Online Exhibitions Work

Browse published exhibits here: https://exhibits.library.cornell.edu/

Curators for each exhibit upload a collection of images (jpg, jpeg, and png) and their associated metadata. Curators then have a few different options on how they can present that content to their users. At the minimum, an exhibit can just be a home page with text and a search bar that users can query with to browse the collections:

But this might not be very engaging to users!

By leveraging custom metadata facets, browse categories with curatorial descriptions, and curated feature pages, exhibit curators can develop more engaging interactions with their collections.

Main Navigation Items

Home Page

Every exhibit has a home page - this is the page that users land on when clicking on an exhibit's thumbnail on the main index (https://exhibits.library.cornell.edu/).

You can choose to hide or show your search facets on the left of your main text in the Options tab of Edit mode.

Curated Feature Pages

Use curated feature pages to showcase and provide additional context for your collection. You can embed exhibit items, as well as videos and 3rd party interactive content not available in your exhibit's search index on feature pages.

You can choose to show or hide feature page navigation on the left of your main text in the Options tab of Edit mode.

To add or delete feature pages: Curation: Feature pages.

Flights of Fancy: Fashion and Function in Circus Performance

Browse

Use Browse pages when you want your users to browse through curated subsets of your exhibit's items. You can choose which item metadata fields to display per view type (List, Grid, Masonry, Slideshow) in Configuration: Metadata.

To manage Browse categories: Curation: Browse.
