Description

ALA presents a 4-Part Webinar Series: Build Your Person Website With Quarto

Are you interested in sharing your work, such as scholarship, creative work, and other projects, and increasing your online visibility? Creating a personal website allows you to highlight yourself and your work, develop an online presence that connects people to you and your work, and share your thoughts in a blog or other pages. Having a personal website is a great way for consultants or speakers to market their services and develop a portfolio of past work; for researchers and scholars to share their publications, including archiving for green open access; for public intellectuals to write blog posts and direct readers to their other writings; and for creatives to highlight their work in various formats and media. This four-part webinar series will provide a basic foundation to get a personal website started and develop the skills to continue building and maintaining your site. We'll rely on Quarto and GitHub Pages: Quarto makes publishing websites simple while providing a lot of customizability for users interested in going deeper, and GitHub Pages allows users to publish their websites for free.

Part 4: Sharing Your Research

For scholars, researchers, and writers, this webinar will focus on building content on your website to highlight publications, presentations, and projects. Employing skills from the previous workshop related to developing Listing Pages in Quarto, we'll create a page to highlight publications, presentations, or projects. Then, we'll apply this to easily create a CV on our website with a section for publications, presentations, or projects that reuses the content we've already created. This demonstrates another application of the listing pages and allows participants to further develop content on their websites. By the end of the webinar, you'll have another listing page with publications, presentations, or projects, and a draft of a CV on your website.
