The DigEx Program is part of the suite of services offered by GPLS’ Archival Services and Digital Initiatives department that connects public libraries with the tools to further engage with their local communities and provides training for digital exhibit development. Presenters will primarily reflect on their experiences to share their successes and challenges, but most importantly share resources, strategies, and tools, they found helpful. Each panelist will also show highlights from their exhibit to introduce attendees to the concept of digital exhibits.
