Digital Commons Exhibits (DCX) is a solution designed to present your institution’s best works in a flexible, attractive way.
Integrated with Digital Commons repositories, DCX provides:
Each Digital Commons license has access to 10 free exhibits, which can be used to curate items from any publication in your Digital Commons repository to create modern showcases of your unique content.
All kinds! Try it out for special collections, archives, library exhibits, art shows, student works, research collections, teaching and learning materials, journals, or conferences.
DCX is also great for digital humanities projects, labs, grant-funded research artifacts, data collections, or any other collection of content where you’d like to showcase multiple file types together in a visually appealing display.
Digital Commons Exhibits is integrated with your Digital Commons repository, allowing you to quickly and easily import items from any publication in your repository into an easy-to-edit exhibit. No need to upload files or enter metadata twice, and download counts stay unified.
Each exhibit is customizable and can include a variety of file types curated from different publications to create exhibits around themes, projects, events, or special collections. Create a narrative flow through custom ordering of items and addition of text at exhibit, section, and item levels.
After a quick, one-time setup of your institution’s DCX site, you will be able to create exhibits and import content from publications in your Digital Commons repository.
Contact your consultant at dc-support@bepress.com to start using Digital Commons Exhibits. Your consultant will perform a one-time setup and provide you with a login to your institution’s DCX site.
Once you are all set up, download the Digital Commons Exhibits User Guide (PDF) and start creating exhibits, importing content, and fine-tuning your site’s display.
A training video is also available in two parts: Part 1 introduces the features of DCX and looks at live examples. Part 2 provides a tour of the administrative interface.
Please let your consultant know at dc-support@bepress.com if you have any questions!
