You might be making a digital companion to a physical exhibit; showcasing research or library materials by adding context; or assembling a simple website. (Of course, your exhibit may fall outside of these use cases--we encourage experimentation!) Exhibits is not a digital preservation service. Nor does it serve as a catalogue or digital library. If you require help with either of these activities, contact us, and we'll forward your inquiry to the appropriate service group.  Authorized Users  University of Toronto Faculty   University of Toronto Librarians and Staff  University of Toronto Post-doctoral researchers   University of Toronto Graduate and Undergraduate students working under a faculty member or librarian who can offer sponsorship and editorial and quality guidance and assurance    Content Guidelines  The work must be an original exhibition or research created by University of Toronto faculty members, librarians, post-doctoral researchers, or sponsored students  The work may showcase archival, historical, or other materials to create a narrative, develop an argument, or share information pertaining to scholarly activities, research, and outreach.   The contributor must ensure that the materials they include comply with Canadian Copyright law.   Please see our Copyright Statement.  Please consult our Copyright Resources at UofT page for more information about Fair Dealing and other questions.   The work must not include personal, private, or sensitive information  Personal, private or sensitive information may include: email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, demographic information about living individuals or individuals who died within thirty years  Whenever possible, ensure your work meets accessibility standards outlined by The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by:  Using the University of Toronto Libraries (UTL) theme, which has been created to be accessible  Ensuring images have alternative (ALT) text   Reviewing web standards before introducing tables or other HTML elements  For an overview of WCAG and accessibility see the Ontario guide  Rights & Responsibilities of a Submitter  Ensure that materials submitted comply with Exhibits UofT Content Guidelines  Ensure that materials are submitted in a manner consistent with University of Toronto policies, including privacy, accessibility, and copyright policies  By submitting content to Exhibits UofT, you agree to the terms in the Copyright Statement   Rights & Responsibilities of Exhibits UofT Administrators  Provide guidance and instruction on exhibit-creation processes, account setup and management, and site administration.   Grant and withdraw users’ authorizations to create content on Exhibits UofT  Understand and follow University policies related to Exhibits UofT including privacy, accessibility, and copyright, and content policies  Remove exhibits for violations of policy, legal concerns, or breach of University of Toronto policies  Responsibilities of the University of Toronto Libraries  Perform system support, troubleshooting, and upgrade as deemed necessary by Exhibits UofT staff  Notify Exhibits UofT users of significant changes to content, e.g. format migration  Comply with UofT policies on issues that affect Exhibits UofT, including privacy, accessibility, and copyright policies  Deaccession Exhibits UofT if major security, technical, financial, or administrative constraints arise  Inform submitters and other stakeholders as soon as possible and offer content backup  Disclaimer  The University of Toronto is not responsible for the content of the items contained within Exhibits UofT.  The University is not responsible for the maintenance and/or performance of external web links within documents and records in the repository   Exhibits U of T Procedures  General   Each user account is at the Contributor level to prevent accidental deletion or editing  Each user account can create multiple exhibits  You must fill in your name or project name in the credits of your exhibit(s)  This enables us to forward inquiries and attribute work correctly  If faculty or librarians are sponsoring student work, they must use their own name in the credits and ensure scholarly quality   All items should be placed in appropriate collections  A user account can have multiple collections   Use the “Current Public Theme” or “Toronto Exhibits” theme  To publish an exhibit:  Ensure your items are in a Collection  Email [email protected].
