Landing Pages, Links, Guides, & Basics

Landing Pages
For Road Show micro exhibitions, landing pages with links to a micro exhibition and links to related resources will be published using the “micro exhibition” content type on Road Show at Beinecke Library. For example, see Piazza San Marco: Writers and Tourists landing page with links to sway presentation and relevant Beinecke collections. All Road Show micro exhibitions–not matter the format–will have a landing page on Road Show at Beiencke: Micro Exhibitions.
To create a Drupal micro exhibtion landing page log in (link below) and click “Content” in the top menu, then “add content” then “micro exhibiton” – you can find your landing page again through the Dashboard; use the “publishing options” button to save and “unpublish” in process work

Drupal Blog Posts & Resource Pages
This site (like all Yale Sites) uses Druple, a free, open-source web contet framework; a drupal “basic page” can function as a blog post or research guide micro exhibiton. A blog post might be especially effective for linear structures (narratives, timelines) and for instances where a single text introduces a group of similar materials that do not each need substantive explication. A research guide format gathers, organizes, and highlights relationships between and among objects and related collections and resources.

Sway
Sway is a web publishing app that dynamically combines images and text; the format works well with a balanced arrangement of images and text; images galleries can also be created in sway.

Social Media
An episodic series of events, related biographical sketches of members of a community, clusters of objects that share a common format or theme may be best exhibited as a series of Instagram posts or tweets.
