August 9, 2016

The Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) and the Yale University Library are pleased to host the founders of the Spotlight project from Stanford University for a two-hour public presentation entitled YCBA and Yale Library present Spotlight on Spotlight.

Spotlight is an open-source software that enables librarians, curators, and other content experts to easily build feature-rich websites that showcase collections and objects from a digital repository, uploaded items, or a combination of the two. Spotlight is a plug-in for Blacklight, an open-source, Ruby on Rails engine that provides a basic discovery interface for searching an Apache Solr index.
