Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the experience of the Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts of the Research Library of Tomsk State University in selecting a platform for virtual exhibitions and creating them. An overview of previous virtual exhibitions created with the participation of the department employees is provided, and a working algorithm for preparing them is outlined. Chosen by the library staff as a tool (the Tilda website builder) and the long read format allows to create an electronic resource based on a written narrative (biography, event description, etc.), including visual materials, multimedia, background information, and links to additional resources. This allows the authors of virtual exhibitions to provide detailed information about the subject, as well as various digitized or online resources hosted in the Electronic Library of Tomsk State University or the “PRO Siberia” platform.
