Guia do usuário do Omeka

Abstract

The Omeka User Guide is one of the results of the research project signed between the Escola Nacional de Administração Pública (Enap) and the Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (Ibict), which aims to propose improvements in the information systems maintained by the Biblioteca Graciliano Ramos. A study that can help other institutions, as many teaching and research institutions have similar problems. This work comprises five parts, intended to cover the main issues involving the use of Omeka, a tool designed to manage digital collections and which serves various types of users. Even with a focus on libraries, this guide also seeks to serve other information professionals who work in the management of digital collections in various areas. The Omeka User Guide fills a gap in publications about this free software in Portuguese - until then incipient - and contributes to its use in Brazil. In this sense, Enap and Ibict contribute to institutions that wish to manage and present their digital collections, given the indisputable need to disseminate digital collections on the internet.
