Description
This workshop will offer hands-on experience with MESA that allows users to practice faceted searching, to build a simple exhibition, to see examples of how MESA supports pedagogy and may be used in the classroom, and to learn the basics of how to submit a project for inclusion in MESA.
The workshop has three goals:
1) Present a demonstration of MESA's functionality and use.
2) Present background on how federating projects into MESA actually works. This will involve some technical discussion and in-workshop coding examples.
3) Practice using MESA for research purposes using real-life examples from workshop attendees.
