Reviews and virtual exhibitions. Creation of electronic exhibitions in the library

What is a "virtual exhibition" and what should it be like in a library?

There is no single answer to this question. Some believe that a virtual exhibition is images of paintings, books, other resources, press releases, information about works and authors. Others that it is a 3D animated journey with detailed information about authors, artists, references, additional information from other Internet sites. Thirdly, that it is a synthesis of traditional, book and newest electronic ways of providing information to the library reader (free form of presentation)

There is no clear definition of what a virtual exhibition is yet, but with a certain degree of confidence we can say that this is a new, multifunctional information resource that provides a wide range of users with the opportunity to increase the efficiency of information search, expand the range of necessary materials (texts, graphics, audio, video, etc.). etc.).

In other words, a virtual exhibition is a public demonstration on the Internet using web technologies of virtual images of specially selected and systematized printed works and other media, as well as public electronic resources recommended for viewing, familiarization and use by remote library users.

Approaches to the organization of virtual exhibitions are very diverse: from the already traditional, conservative form - the image of book covers and annotations of publications in the Ms.Word document format, to an animated journey into the world of the book. The exhibitions of the latter type present a variety of illustrative, audio, video material, bibliographic lists on the topic, etc.

The exhibition involves a virtual presentation of publications, revealing their content, as well as access to bibliographic, factographic, encyclopedic materials that exist in electronic form and are available via the Internet. Using, among other means, the possibility of Web - design - the next step in the development of the concept of virtual book exhibitions.

The exhibitions are no longer duplicating the traditional book exhibitions shown in the library, and are created specifically to be presented in an interactive form. Such exhibitions are made as mini-sites, where much attention is paid not only to traditional library methods of disclosing information about a book, but the possibilities of virtual space to attract additional types of information are widely used.

The advantage of virtual book exhibitions is the opportunity to present publications without removing them from the shelf. Provide users with books shown at the exhibition and not limit the lifetime of the exhibition.

Unlike the traditional one, the virtual exhibition provides librarians and readers with additional opportunities:

1. use of information technology. Perception through a computer serves as a kind of bait for readers, especially children. Bright, colorful, with animation, using game moments, switching the attention of children from animated screensavers to a static page - all this makes the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic;

2. using the Internet makes it possible to get acquainted with the exhibition remotely, both in bulk and in the order of individual treatment;

3. mass character. More books may be on display;

4. variability. At any time, you can quickly change slides (frames) and their location, remove unnecessary ones or insert new ones, change the color scheme or the overall design;

5. autonomy. The work of the exhibition can be launched automatically, equipped with voiced text and demonstrated without special accompaniment;

6. mobility. Most often, virtual exhibitions are developed (organized) as traveling exhibitions. It is very convenient to demonstrate them in various educational institutions, classrooms, classrooms, simply by downloading to a USB flash drive;

7. profitability. Virtual exhibitions save space. There is no need to work with racks, stands, exhibition cabinets.

A virtual book exhibition, unlike a traditional one, does not have to consist of sections accompanied by citations and introductory articles. The exhibition should be user-friendly in the web space and may contain the following information:

visual (cover image, digitized parts of the book, etc.),

bibliographic data (bibliographic record and codes of the collection of the library presenting the exhibition),

Analytical information (annotations, reviews, reader reviews, etc.),

You can also place additional materials:

· Information about availability of books in other libraries .

There is a certain set of conditions that ensure the visual comfort of the user when working with information in electronic form:

The brightness of the object must be within reasonable limits;

The contrast of the image relative to the background must be chosen taking into account the size of the object: the smaller its size, the higher the contrast should be;

The eye has the greatest sensitivity to yellow-green radiation, the least - to violet and red;

the size of the symbol must be consistent with the visual acuity of the person; it also affects the speed and correctness of perception of information;

Since the space of a virtual exhibition is limited by the size of the monitor, it should not be overloaded with special effects and color variety - the user's attention should not be scattered by distractions. The exception is exhibitions for children, who are attracted by colorfulness and animation effects. But, nevertheless, you need to remember that the abundance of animation, photos, pictures increases the viewing time, and hence the perception.

Algorithm for preparing and organizing a virtual book exhibition (on the example of Microsoft PowerPoint):

Table 1

	Operations
I Development of a book exhibition model	Choose an exhibition topic

IV Making a presentation or publishing a project on the Internet	Web Publishing

There are a fairly large number of services that can help create virtual exhibitions on their sites. Here are some of them (in most cases, instructions for working with services are presented in English with the possibility of automatic translation into Russian):

1. PhotoPeach. The service is good for creating simple but vibrant photo exhibitions.

2. BannerSnack. Using this service, you can create a simple and bright book photo exhibition or "bibliobanner" that can be edited at any time. In the banner, in addition to pictures, you can embed videos.

3. Sharesnack. The service allows you to create a voiced exhibition on the work of one writer or on a specific topic. The product is created in a simple way: links to YouTube videos are inserted into the proposed form.

4.Popplet. The service provides opportunities to create a more complex and extensive exhibition, even if it is a single book exhibition. It allows you to create detailed exhibitions with sections, quotes, illustrations. Here you can insert video, audio materials and text in Russian. In addition, the service is ideal for organizing the collective work of readers on the creation of an exhibition. Each of the participants can work on their own section of the exhibition.

5. Playcast. The service allows you to create a small exhibition - a postcard on a separate work, using text, photos, music.

6. Calameo. Service for creating an exhibition - books. You can create both individual books and entire virtual bookshelves.

7. Dipity. This service is an ideal option for creating an exhibition-chronicle on the writer's work. Such an exhibition can be supplemented with illustrations, video materials, links, a map, and viewed in four modes to choose from: as a timeline; each event separately; list of events; event locations specified when the map was created.

8. Zoo Burst. Service for creating 3D books. As an option - the joint creation of an exhibition - fairy tales. To insert pictures, the ClipArt library is used, but you can also upload your own pictures.

9. Prezi. A service for creating an exhibition - a presentation of a new generation, in which you can collapse all the material into one picture, and by enlarging one or another slide, focus on a specific text, word, image.

More and more libraries, having mastered the traditional structure of a virtual exhibition, are trying to find new ways to publicly display printed works on the Internet in order to open their funds. Currently, playcasts (see above) and book trailers are becoming popular.

A book trailer is a free-form miniature video about a book. It includes the brightest and most recognizable moments of the work, visualizes its content. When creating a book trailer, you can use video, or you can get by with illustrations, photographs, scanned book spreads.

Presenting books to the reader and promoting book reading in the global cultural community, book trailers have become a separate original genre that combines literature, visual arts and the Internet. Since 2012, the All-Russian booktrailer contest-parade has been held annually in Russia, in which libraries also take an active part. So, on the portal "Wiki. SibiriaDa", created in 2011 by the Novosibirsk Regional Children's Library as a free resource for the collective work of librarians, teachers - local historians, children, adolescents and youth on the creation, placement and preservation of materials from the Siberian region, today a remote "Training on creating book trailers" is organized.

Virtual book exhibitions have become widespread in libraries of all types - regional, municipal, special.

In the era of the Internet, the global network has become an important part of cultural life in general and the life of cultural institutions in particular. Today, library users are familiar with such services as electronic document delivery (EDD), virtual reference services, virtual guides to Internet resources, online access to databases and electronic catalogs, and thematic web projects. Library exhibitions are also experiencing an era of modernization, adapting to a remote type of user service.

The first virtual (electronic, interactive) exhibitions in the field of culture appeared in the largest museums in Russia - the Moscow Kremlin State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve, the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Museum of Architecture. A. V. Shchuseva. Today, all major museums in Russia are actively working to create virtual exhibitions on their own websites.

In library practice, virtual exhibitions began to be used for the first time in scientific and university libraries of the country. There are such exhibitions on the websites of the university libraries of the Udmurt Republic - the Scientific Library of the Udmurt State University, Izhevsk State Technical University, Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy, Izhevsk State Medical Academy. As a rule, these are thematic annotated lists of new arrivals of books and magazines, which are accompanied by additional information: book cover photo, information about the author, the history of the study of this issue, etc.

A VIRTUAL EXHIBITION is a public demonstration on the Internet using web technologies of virtual images of specially selected and systematized printed works and other information media, as well as public electronic resources recommended for viewing, familiarization and use by remote library users.

The virtual exhibition, in comparison with the traditional one, provides librarians and readers with additional features and benefits.

1. The use of information technology makes the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic. Bright, colorful, with animation, using game moments, switching attention from animated screensavers to a static page, virtual exhibitions are attractive to readers, and especially to children.
2. A virtual exhibition is not limited by place and time - from any computer, anywhere and at any time of the day, you can get all the necessary information on this topic in full.
3. The exhibition is designed for different audiences. Anyone can get to know her. The use of virtual exhibitions makes it possible for librarians to communicate remotely with readers, without being tied to the inevitable formalities in service.
4. At a virtual exhibition, you can present a large number of books without taking up the real space of the library; there is no need to work with racks, stands, exhibition cabinets.
5. The work of the exhibition can be launched automatically, equipped with voiced text and demonstrated without special accompaniment.
6. Virtual exhibitions can be used as traveling exhibitions - it is convenient to demonstrate them in various educational institutions, auditoriums, classrooms, classes.
7. You can not worry about the safety of the publications presented at the exhibition.
8. Virtual exhibitions can function indefinitely and even permanently.
9. It is possible to redirect the user to other resources by placing links to online stores where you can buy your favorite book; on Internet book search systems (such as books.google.com), libraries that also contain this book.
10. Placing an exhibition on the library website, as well as advertising links to it on other sites, allows you to increase the number of its visitors, and hence potential readers.

However, the virtual exhibition also has some limitations.

1. Creating and viewing a virtual exhibition requires a computer. Not every PC meets the requirements necessary to view the exhibition.
2. Not every library user has the necessary skills to view a virtual exhibition.
3. In case of technical failures, the presentation of the exhibition and its viewing becomes impossible.
4. The producer of a virtual exhibition must have the necessary computer skills and artistic taste.

The identified advantages and limitations suggest that the development of a virtual exhibition requires a special method of preparation, which differs from the method of preparing traditional book exhibitions. The book "Exhibition Activities of Public Libraries" by N. V. Zbarovskaya provides an algorithm for the preparation and organization of electronic virtual exhibitions.

Structure. A virtual exhibition, like a traditional one, should consist of sections that are accompanied by quotations, introductory articles, and illustrative material. The exhibition should be user-friendly in the web space and may contain the following information:

• visual (cover image, digitized parts of the book: preface, introduction, etc.),
• bibliographic data (bibliographic record and codes of the collection of the library presenting the exhibition),
• analytical information (abstracts, abstracts to publications, reviews, reader reviews, etc.),
• digitized parts of the book (chapters, most interesting excerpts, etc.),
• links to the full texts of the book, if they are available in the library or on the Internet.

You can also place additional materials on the theme of the exhibition:

• links to Internet resources (biographies, critical articles, reviews, testimonials, thematic sites),
• information about the availability of books in other libraries, online stores, etc.

Special requirements apply to registration virtual exhibitions. The first slide should contain information relating to the virtual exhibition as a whole. All subsequent slides are separate exhibits of the exhibition. The visual range of a virtual exhibition is represented by illustrative material (book covers, spreads, illustrations, maps, photographs, etc.). The text itself, which accompanies and reveals the visuals, should consist of quotations, annotations, biographical notes. It is recommended to place hints and help messages at the top of the screen.

When using animation, two options for the display mode are taken into account: a free demonstration and a user-adjusted demonstration. It is advisable to use animation effects in relation to the entire text or its large fragments. The appearance of typewriter-like text slows down browsing time, and large text tires the eyesight. When using traditional drawings and photographs, it is important to choose the right scale and use the color palette well. In this case, if the graphic image is displayed on the screen along with the text, then it is recommended to leave 1/2 of the screen blank: the size of the details should correspond to the resolution of the screen and the sharpness of human vision.

There is a certain set of conditions that visual comfort of the user when working with information in electronic form:

• the brightness of the object should be within reasonable limits;
• the contrast of the image relative to the background must be chosen taking into account the size of the object: the smaller its size, the higher the contrast should be;
• The eye has the greatest sensitivity to yellow-green radiation, the least to violet and red;
• the size of the symbol must be consistent with the visual acuity of the person; it also affects the speed and correctness of perception of information;
• since the space of a virtual exhibition is limited by the size of the monitor, it should not be overloaded with special effects and color variety - the user's attention should not be scattered by distractions. The exception is exhibitions for children, who are attracted by colorfulness and animation effects. But still, you need to remember that the abundance of animation, photos, pictures increases the page load time.

It should also be noted that the creation of a high-quality, attractive and easy-to-view virtual exhibition involves the use of modern technology and software. There are a fairly large number of services that can help create virtual exhibitions on their sites. Here are some of them (in most cases, instructions for working with services are presented in English with the possibility of automatic translation into Russian):

• PhotoPeach. The service is good for creating simple but vibrant photo exhibitions.
• bannersnack. Using this service, you can create a simple and bright book photo exhibition or "bibliobanner" that can be edited at any time. In the banner, in addition to pictures, you can embed videos. (See an example of an output banner.)
• Sharesnack. The service allows you to create a voiced exhibition on the work of one writer or on a specific topic. The product is created in a simple way: links to YouTube videos are inserted into the proposed form.
• popplet. The service provides opportunities to create a more complex and extensive exhibition, even if it is a single book exhibition (see exhibition example). It allows you to create detailed exhibitions with sections, quotes, illustrations. Here you can insert video, audio materials and text in Russian. In addition, the service is ideal for organizing the collective work of readers on the creation of an exhibition. Each of the participants can work on their own section of the exhibition.
• playcast. The service allows you to create a small exhibition-postcard on a separate work, using text, photos, music. (See how to create a playcast.)
• Calameo. Service for creating an exhibition-book. You can create both individual books and entire virtual bookshelves. (Cm. .)
• Dipity. This service is an ideal option for creating an exhibition chronicle of the writer's work. Such an exhibition can be supplemented with illustrations, video materials, links, a map, and viewed in four modes to choose from: as a timeline; each event separately; list of events; event locations specified when the map was created. (See the description of the work in the service.)
• Zoo Burst. Service for creating a 3D book. As an option - the joint creation of an exhibition-fairy tale. To insert pictures, the ClipArt library is used, but you can also upload your own pictures.
• Prezi. A service for creating a new generation exhibition-presentation, in which you can collapse all the material into one picture, and by enlarging one or another slide, focus on a specific text, word, image.

The virtual exhibition can also be placed on the library website in HTML format. It is good if the librarian, when creating an exhibition, works in alliance with a designer, an information technology specialist with web design skills.

More and more libraries, having mastered the traditional structure of a virtual exhibition, are trying to find new ways to publicly display printed works on the Internet in order to open their funds. Currently becoming popular playcasts(see above) and booktrailers.

Booktrailer- this is a miniature video, a teaser (teaser), in an arbitrary artistic form, telling about the book. It includes the brightest and most recognizable moments of the work, visualizes its content. When creating a booktrailer, you can use video, or you can get by with illustrations, photographs, book spreads.

Presenting books to the reader and promoting book reading in the global cultural community, book trailers have become a separate original genre that combines literature, visual arts and the Internet. Since 2012, the All-Russian booktrailer contest-parade has been held annually in Russia, in which libraries also take an active part. So, on the portal "Wiki. SibiriaDa", created in 2011 by the Novosibirsk Regional Children's Library as a free resource for the collective work of librarians, local history teachers, children, adolescents and youth on the creation, placement and preservation of materials from the Siberian region, today distance learning has been organized to create book trailers.

Virtual exhibitions are widely used in libraries of all types - regional, municipal, special. Let us give some examples by analyzing the virtual exhibitions of some of them.

The simplest example of a traditional virtual exhibition (a list of new literature acquisitions supplemented with photographs of book covers) can be seen on the websites of many libraries: the Pskov Regional Universal Scientific Library, the Tula Regional Universal Scientific Library, the Bryansk Regional Scientific Universal Library. F. I. Tyutchev, Sverdlovsk Regional Interethnic Library, etc.

Central City Library. A. S. Pushkina, Kamensk-Uralsky, made the first virtual exhibitions in the Word program by creating documents with hyperlinks. Then the library staff mastered the simplest visual editor of HTML pages and began to produce more advanced electronic products. The Stilius portal was created, allowing you to get acquainted with the whole variety of virtual exhibitions of this library: the exhibition “The Legend of Letters. Secrets of the Russian alphabet”, an exhibition dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the book by N. V. Gogol “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka”, an exhibition “A Star named Love”, dedicated to L. Orlova, etc.

There are many examples of creating virtual exhibitions in the libraries of the Udmurt Republic.

On the website of the National Library of the Udmurt Republic in the section "Virtual exhibitions in 3D", for example, such exhibitions as "Modernization of education. School of the 21st century”, “Legend about the writings: to the 1150th anniversary of the Slavic alphabet”, “Fashion genre: literary biography”, “About the achievements of science in an accessible and fascinating way”, “Japanese literature: from the depths of centuries to the present”, “Russian language for everyone and everyone” and others. At these exhibitions, you can virtually “wander” around the hall, “go up” to the exhibition racks, look at books, read annotations, sometimes flip through several pages of the books presented (these can be separate chapters).

The creators of the "Virtual Exhibitions" page on the website of the Central Municipal Library. N. A. Nekrasov, Izhevsk, offer the reader to get acquainted with a brief overview of the book exhibition on display within the walls of the library, and look at the photo of the exhibition as a whole. However, it is difficult to call this exhibition virtual: it is impossible to see the book covers - the photos are very small, there is not a single bibliographic description of the books, the text of the review looks more like an advertisement.

But the virtual exhibitions of the Central Municipal Children's Library. M. Gorky city of Izhevsk are very interesting and exciting. All of them, delimited by target audiences (children, parents, teachers, colleagues), are presented in the form of colorful, dynamic videos with moving pictures and good music that can interest both young readers and their parents: “Books that help to live”, “ Knizhkin House”, “Together with the book I grow up”, “Pet of the Muses, pet of the battle”, etc.

They create their own virtual exhibitions and small branch libraries, for example, the library to them. V. M. Azina CBS of Izhevsk. The "Virtual exhibitions" section of the library's website presents an exhibition of "Electronic optical discs in local history", which opens with a slide showing all the discs presented on it. Further information is given for each disc separately (photo, bibliographic description, annotation, table of contents). The exhibition is bright and colorful. Another exhibition - "Monisto - the national decoration of Udmurt women" - begins with a brief history of the appearance of the decoration, then there are photos of books, a bibliographic description, and annotation. This exhibition is decorated in the same colorful way, but static, without animation. Both presented exhibitions can be viewed directly on the library website and downloaded for further use in your work.

An analysis of library sites allows us to conclude that virtual exhibitions have firmly taken their place in the activities of libraries to popularize books and reading. They are mobile, compact, meaningful and are an up-to-date guide in a vast flow of information. The multimedia nature of the exhibitions makes it possible to solve meaningful problems more effectively, and their interactivity allows to involve the reader in the world of books and create feedback.

Today, to attract attention to a book, it is no longer enough just to put it on an exhibition shelf. Users are increasingly going to the Internet for the necessary information and the right books. Therefore, librarians need to look for new forms of communicating information to their users.

The use of multimedia technologies makes it possible to introduce innovations into the traditional activities of the library - exhibitions.

Virtual exhibition - public demonstration on the Internet using Internet tools and tools of virtual images of specially selected and systematized printed works and other media, as well as public electronic resources recommended for viewing, familiarization and use by remote users of the library.

Purpose of the virtual exhibition – public Internet - presentation of various types of documents. Such an exhibition is mobile, compact, meaningful and is an up-to-date guide in a vast flow of information. Each exhibition is made with the help of an original multimedia design that simulates being at an exhibition, facilitating navigation and perception of information.

A virtual exhibition, in comparison with a traditional one, provides librarians and readers with additional opportunities and benefits.

Use of information technology makes the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic. Bright, colorful, with animation, using game moments, switching attention from animated screensavers to a static page, virtual exhibitions are attractive to readers, and especially to children.

The virtual exhibition is not limited by place and time - from any computer, anywhere and at any time of the day, you can get all the necessary information on this topic in full.

What tasks does a virtual exhibition solve in a library? By creating virtual exhibitions, librarians solve several problems at once:

· master a new type of work by applying digital technologies to the exhibition work of the library;

· keep the exposition for a longer period than a traditional exhibition provides;

· support the safety of the library fund by submitting the material in electronic form;

· enable the remote user to use the information resources of the library.

Types and forms of virtual book exhibitions:

· One book exhibitions

· Book collection exhibitions

· Presentation of covers and brief annotations for books with musical accompaniment

· Collection of book trailers

· Collection of audio recordings

· Exhibition of books in the form of an interactive poster

· Exhibition of books in the form of a mind map

· Exhibition of books of any author in the form of a timeline

· Exhibition of books in the form of a 3D book.

Unlike the traditional one, the virtual exhibition provides librarians and readers withadditional features:

1. use of information technology. Perception through a computer serves as a kind of bait for readers, especially children. Bright, colorful, with animation, using game moments, switching the attention of children from animated screensavers to a static page - all this makes the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic;

2. the use of the INTERNET makes it possible to get acquainted with the exhibition remotely, both in bulk and in the order of individual treatment;

3. mass character. More books may be on display;

4. variability. At any time, you can quickly change slides and their location, remove unnecessary ones or insert new ones, change the color scheme, or the overall design;

5. autonomy. The work of the exhibition can be launched automatically, equipped with a voiced text and demonstrated without special accompaniment;

6. mobility. Most often, electronic exhibitions are developed (organized) as traveling exhibitions. It is very convenient to demonstrate them in various educational institutions, classrooms, offices, classes;

7. profitability. Electronic exhibitions save space. There is no need to work with racks, stands, exhibition cabinets.

Thanks to the possibility of organizing permanent exhibitions, libraries can create cycles of virtual book exhibitions that operate simultaneously.

Structure

A virtual exhibition, like a traditional one, should consist of sections that are accompanied by quotations, introductory articles, and illustrative material. The exhibition should be user-friendly in the web space and may contain the following information:

Visual (cover image, digitized parts of the book: preface, introduction, etc.),

Bibliographic data (bibliographic record and ciphers of the collection of the library presenting the exhibition),

Analytical information (abstracts, abstracts to publications, reviews, reader reviews, etc.),

Digitized parts of the book (chapters, most interesting excerpts, etc.),

You can also placeadditional materials on the theme of the exhibition:

Information about the availability of books in other libraries, online stores, etc.

Special requirements apply toorganizing virtual exhibitions. The first slide should contain information relating to the virtual exhibition as a whole. All subsequent slides are separate exhibits of the exhibition. The visual range of a virtual exhibition is represented by illustrative material (book covers, spreads, illustrations, maps, photographs, etc.). The text itself, which accompanies and reveals the visuals, should consist of quotations, annotations, biographical notes. It is recommended to place hints and help messages at the top of the screen.

The brightness of the object should be within reasonable limits;

The contrast of the image relative to the background must be chosen taking into account the size of the object: the smaller its size, the higher the contrast should be;

The eye has the greatest sensitivity to yellow-green radiation, the least to violet and red;

The size of the symbol must be consistent with the visual acuity of the person; it also affects the speed and correctness of perception of information;

Since the space of a virtual exhibition is limited by the size of the monitor, it should not be overloaded with special effects and color diversity - the user's attention should not be scattered by distractions. The exception is exhibitions for children, who are attracted by colorfulness and animation effects. But still, you need to remember that the abundance of animation, photos, pictures increases the page load time.

It should also be noted that the creation of a high-quality, attractive and easy-to-view virtual exhibition involves the use of modern technology and software.

At present, there is no clear definition of what a virtual exhibition is. The textbook "Exhibition activities of public libraries" by N. V. Zbarovskaya gives the following definition: "A virtual exhibition is a new type of information and library service for users, a synthesis of traditional (book) and the latest (electronic) ways of providing information."

A virtual exhibition is a public demonstration on the Internet using web technologies of virtual images of specially selected and systematized printed works and other media, as well as public electronic resources recommended for viewing, familiarization and use by remote library users.

The virtual exhibition is positioned as a new, multifunctional information resource that provides a wide range of users with the opportunity to increase the efficiency of information search, expand the range of necessary materials (texts, graphics, audio, video, etc.).

The first virtual exhibitions appeared within the framework of the project of Internet resources of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia. The resource involves placing information in Russian and English on virtual exhibition stands (mini-sites) to promote and exchange business information about enterprises and organizations, their products and services. graphic and video materials. In the context of the development of new information technologies, virtual exhibitions appear in the field of culture and education: museums, universities, libraries of all types.

Virtual exhibitions represent the library fund, contribute to the formation and maintenance of the image, development and improvement of the library service.

Advantages and possibilities of a virtual exhibition:

1. To view the exhibition, the reader does not need to be in the library, just access to the Internet. The reader can view the exhibition at any time.

2. Possibility of exhibiting more documents than in a traditional exhibition without taking up real library space. A large number of books can be presented at an exhibition; You can change them at any time by removing unnecessary ones and putting in new ones.

3. Each document can be accompanied by an annotation, an abstract, a copy of the table of contents and / or fragments of text, illustrations, the history of the creation of the work, a description of the era, audio and video clips. Computer technologies make the virtual exhibition lively and dynamic.

4. Documents presented at the virtual exhibition are not in danger of being damaged. You-bet on the Internet can function continuously.

5. The cost of creating virtual exhibitions is lower than for organizing similar traditional ones.

Among the limitations of the use of electronic book exhibitions are the following:

1.Not every PC meets the requirements to view you-bets. In the event of technical failures, the presentation of the exhibition and its viewing becomes impossible.

2. Not every library user has the necessary skills to get acquainted with the electronic book exhibition

3. The producer of a book exhibition must have the necessary computer skills and artistic taste [savkin].

Typology of virtual book exhibitions

Virtual book fairs, like traditional ones, can be classified on a number of grounds:

By status - independent or accompanying a mass event (for example, when announcing a book on the Internet);

According to the intended purpose - to help study, to improve the general educational and general cultural level;

By the time of publication and receipt by the library of the materials provided for them - new arrivals, for different years, "forgotten editions";

By terms of functioning - permanent, long-term, short-term;

By types of publications - books, other types of publications (magazine or newspaper, etc.), several types of publications at the same time (complex), new media (CD-ROM, records, microfilms, video cassettes, etc.), multimedia applications;

According to the composition of the presented publications: an exhibition of one book, a series, a collection.

The exhibitions of the last type contain detailed information about authors, artists, lists of references, additional information from other Internet sites. Exhibitions no longer duplicate the traditional book exhibitions shown within the walls of the library. Often they start out as mini-sites.

When creating virtual exhibitions, design programs are used: Adobe Photoshop, FSViewer, CorelDRAW, ImageReady. When placing an exhibition on a website, blog, the HTML programming language is used. Scanning of covers, illustrations for recognition and editing of texts is carried out in the FineReader program.

Next, separate slides are created for each book (topic) listed on the first slide. For example: Slide 1 - "The work of modern science fiction writers: Sergey Tarmashev, Sergey Lukyanenko, Maria Semenova." Slide 2 - "Editions of Sergei Tarmashev." Slide 3 - "Editions of Sergei Lukyanenko." Slide 4 “Editions of Maria Semenova.

Next, right-click and select "Hyperlink" - "Link to" - "Place in Document" - "Slide 1". Again we return to Slide 1 and repeat the same actions with the remaining names - “Sergey Lukyanenko”, “Maria Semenova”.

On the page with the description of the edition, you can also record a short audio explanation or attach a melody, sound effects.

When adding a presentation to a page on social networks, it is necessary to write a scheme for viewing the exhibition, and when it is shown at an event, explain the rules and show it in the form of an interactive game. During the presentation, the reader selects a book, clicks on it with the mouse and gets to the page with a description of the selected publication. To return to the beginning, he left-clicks on the slide and returns to the first slide. The reader performs the same actions to view other publications posted on Slide 1.
