Title A name given to the resource Create the "blurb" for your Neatline exhibit Description An account of the resource In the language of Omeka/Neatline, the more formal term for a "blurb" is a narrative, or description.

Whatever you decide, when a viewer chooses the fullscreen version of your Neatline exhibit the narrative will appear in a box in the upper left of the display.

Title A name given to the resource Cite a source Description An account of the resource Your Neatine work, just like any historical essay, must come equipped with proper citations. If you quote from, make explicit reference to, or draw ideas from a source, create a hyperlink to the Zotero item within the Neatline record itself. How?<br /> <ul> <li>Open the record. In the "body", insert a parenthetical reference to the source (O'Neill, 203).</li> <li>Next to the "Body" heading click on "edit html". This will open the html editor mode.</li> <li>Select the citation text (everything inside the parentheses).</li> <li>Now open our group library - the web version.

Title A name given to the resource Add an image to a Neatline record Description An account of the resource You will most likely want to add an image to the "body" of the record. First, activate the html editing mode: <img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/kaoneill/folders/Jing/media/71793cff-5e55-4334-a866-a1fef23820c4/2016-10-12_1003.png" alt=" " /> The html editing box will open. Place your cursor where you would like the image to appear, and click on the image icon: <img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/kaoneill/folders/Jing/media/75aaac67-b090-4c00-891e-cfc08f711fe2/2016-10-12_1004.png" alt=" " /> Plug in the URL of your image. I recommend deleting the width and height dimensions: leaving those fields blank will tell Neatline to display the image within the normal record window. <br /><br />Click "OK". <br /><br />Then click on the "minimize" button:<br /><br /> <img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/kaoneill/folders/Jing/media/4e866d0d-5cdd-4ebd-a25b-4b4d047365e0/2016-10-12_1007.png" alt=" " /> Save.
