Koha assignment

I have to say that I am still having a hard time remembering to post something on the blog site. I don't think I will ever be successful at it.

Well,

Of all the cataloging software that we have used the Koha was the most intuitive and easiest to use.

I did visit the Omeka site and looked at some of the websites published with Omeka and have to say that I enjoyed "roaming" through the pages of the example sites. I liked the various themes that are possible for the front end of the sites.

it appears that it makes very nice online exhibits for museums.

For my Anthropology senior thesis paper I researched how museums utilized all the raw conservation data they had accumulated over the decades and if they used the data on their respective websites to inform and educate the general public.

I visited some of the majors through out the world and found that many were doing an excellent job of enlightening the public to what art conservation and preservation was all about.

When I looked at the websites created using Omeka I was reminded of the sites I had visited for the paper and wonder what web publishing software they had used. That was the farthest thing from my mind when I was researching for the paper. When I get some time I intend to re-visit some of those site and scrutinize them from a different perspective.
