Abstract

Curating exhibitions offers librarians an engaging means of reaching out to academic communities and the public. In addition, exhibitions provide a means of exposing hidden collections or showcasing art works by students and faculty. Together the librarians have curated ten exhibitions of varying sizes and in different locations. This paper will discuss and examine practical steps for curating an exhibition in an academic library. Two case studies highlight exhibitions of students’ art and virtual exhibitions.
