Provides advice for planning, preparing, and executing an exhibit program to promote a library's collections
This handbook for small and medium-sized libraries offers practical advice on planning and mounting effective exhibits. In a compact, manageable format, the authors clearly present a vast amount of information. They explain how to develop an exhibit plan; they give an overview of equipment, including cases, lighting, and book supports; and they offer tips on publicity, printing, insurance, and finding and planning for traveling exhibits. There is a valuable bibliography that includes instructions on how to subscribe to LIBEX-L, a listserv on library exhibits. There is also a good list of companies that provide supplies and services for library displays. This little book is packed with information--all you'll need for a dynamic exhibit plan that will extend your library's information services.
