The exhibition consists of two complementary components: an online display and several physical installations. The exhibition will be accessible to a global audience and will educate visitors by engaging them. It will invite and empower the visitors to join the search for the Hochschule books. We want to capture the attention of pupils, students, historians, librarians, archivists, and book enthusiasts. As our designated audience is international, we will provide different language versions of the exhibition’s contents (English, German, Hebrew and Czech).

A social media campaign will accompany the exhibition to build a dedicated community of citizen scientists. To ensure sustainable storage and reusability of the research data collected by the citizen scientists, a custom-built database will be required. Part of the online exhibition will be a visual representation of the database content in the form of a map.

The exhibition will be launched in the autumn of 2023 and run until the end of 2024.

·         A publicly available landing page incorporating a scrollytelling experience as designed by Goldener Westen. The desired features of interaction, web animation as well as implementation of audio can be viewed in the following inspirational board with references from similar projects: https://app.milanote.com/1Q1oKd1EEP9g5S?p=drfMlFybcZB

·         During the next few weeks (until end of June) – a clickable Figma prototype of the first chapter of the website will be provided by Goldener Westen – including all needed modules and features that are necessary for the immersive experience.

·         A publicly available database with a table, grid and map view to visualize, filter and search among all available books for this project. Initial designs of these views have already been designed as clickable Figma-prototype to be seen here – with the desired functionality and interaction (it’s still work in progress, but more than 90% is already approved): https://www.figma.com/proto/dE9rbF4WoJDXukSKdDot2R/LBI?page-id=6172%3A51039&type=design&node-id=6176-52171&viewport=25%2C463%2C0.07&scaling=scale-down-width&starting-point-node-id=6176%3A52171

·         A publicly available, single book view displaying detailed information about a single book chosen through one of the browser views. For the initial designs of this view, please refer to the Figma-link above.

·         A publicly available interface to submit inquiries about potentially found books. The interface should allow users to claim a book to be found and attach personal contact information, pictures of the book and other information necessary for authorized personnel to determine the authenticity of each inquiry. The design of this page has not yet been developed.

·         An authentication view used by authorized personnel, i.e. content moderators, including user signup, login and password recovery. The design of this page can be taken from the set of the used CMS.

·         A user management view used by authorized personnel to browse, add, edit and delete other content moderators. The design of this page can be taken from the set of the used CMS.

·         A moderator view used by authorized personnel to browse, review and moderate inquiries about potentially found books. In this view, content moderators should have the possibility to accept/discard inquiries with sufficient information. Inquiries needing additional information as well as duplicate inquiries should have a separate status/category while waiting for further information. The design of this page can be taken from the set of the used CMS.

·         A book ingested view used by authorized personnel to ingest books – both initial entries of already known books and new books coming from inquiries. The design of this page can be taken from the set of the used CMS.

·         A view of existing books used by authorized personnel to update information about books available in the database. The design of this page can be taken from the set of the used CMS.

·         Support for multiple locales across all views. Initially requested locales: English and German. Next up: Czech and Hebrew (to be done until the end of the year 2023).

·         An ongoing service contract until the end of 2024 for maintenance of the database and website, with a fixed service fee per month.

·         To ensure the concept's consistency, we can only accept offers for the complete scope of work. Delivery of parts of the finished products will only be permitted if this has been contractually agreed.

·    The tasks may be completed remotely. The winner of this tender does not need necessarily be located in Israel. Since this is an international project, we expect close coordination via video meetings and delivery of finished products electronically.

·    Terms of payment: A proper invoice for each order must be submitted to: Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem, Shimrit Radai, 33 Bustenai Street, Jerusalem 9104201 P.O.B 4242, accounts@leobaeck.org. Partial invoices must be marked and will only be permitted if contractually regulated. Unless otherwise agreed, each invoice will be settled within 30 days. Incomplete invoices will be rejected.
