Paper short abstract:

In the ARC's virtual institute system, I have developed ideal functions different from the other websites. Already, some research projects have made good examples of online exhibition. In this paper, I will report how the system is effective for students and young scholar on education.

Paper long abstract:

In the "research space" system of Art research Center, Ritsumeikan University we have developed several databases and strong function. For example, AI Kuzushi-ji reading system helps researchers who have not enough capacity, and now many people want to use the system. In this paper, I focus on the "Virtual Institute" system. In the system, it has an online exhibition system as the typical function. By the system, users can make their exhibition using all of the digital resources on the Web. The dramatical change of digital environment, now we have enough digital resources in some genre, Japanese classical book is the one of it, and especially illustrated books are the typical genre. However, if we use "Google art and culture" or "Japan Search exhibition", it is difficult to make a satisfied result, especially, it is impossible to use educational opportunity yet.

I would like to show the limit of other system and what is the idea of ARC's system, then I will introduce some effective online exhibitions in the ARC's system.

In conclusion I would like to point out that the system function very well on the education for students and young scholar. This means that this type of digital exhibition will be the one of the effective ways of using digital cultural resources.
