Exhibits and Displays: A Practical Guide for Librarians de Carol Ng-He

Exhibits and Displays: A Practical Guide for Librarians: Practical Guides for Librarians

Autor Carol Ng-He, Patti Gibbons
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2021

Observăm o discrepanță notabilă în formarea academică a bibliotecarilor: deși cererea pentru spații expoziționale în biblioteci este în creștere, majoritatea programelor de biblioteconomie (LIS) omit cursurile dedicate dezvoltării acestora. Volumul Exhibits and Displays completează această lacună, oferind un fundament teoretic și practic pentru o activitate învățată, până acum, adesea empiric. Scrisă de Carol Ng-He și Patti Gibbons, specialiști cu experiență vastă în muzee și biblioteci universitare, această lucrare din seria Practical Guides for Librarians transformă procesul expozițional dintr-o sarcină secundară într-o strategie de implicare comunitară.

Remarcăm structura riguroasă a celor zece capitole, care urmăresc cronologic viața unui proiect: de la planificarea conceptuală și redactarea etichetelor, până la aspecte juridice de împrumut, conservare și marketing. Subliniem prezența celor 19 casete de text și a celor 28 de ilustrații alb-negru care ancorează conceptele abstracte în realitatea tehnică a designului de display. Această ediție publicată de Bloomsbury Publishing funcționează ca un manual de referință ce recalibrează rolul bibliotecarului în spațiul public.

Lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Exhibits in Libraries cu date noi din sfera tehnologiilor digitale și a managementului colecțiilor speciale. În timp ce titluri precum Digital Collections and Exhibits se concentrează strict pe tehnologii avansate, volumul de față integrează componenta digitală într-un context hibrid, echilibrând exponatele fizice cu cele virtuale. Tonul este precis și orientat spre soluții, oferind bibliotecarilor instrumentele necesare pentru a gestiona atât simple afișaje de carte, cât și expoziții de complexitate muzeală.

Descriere

Exhibits and displays are booming and in demand at all types of libraries. From simple displays of books to full-scale museum-quality exhibitions, library exhibits can highlight collections that surprise visitors, tell stories, and engage audiences in innovative ways. Often, exhibits feature more than books-showcasing art, photographs, archival materials, multimedia elements, as well as hands-on activities. Stepping outside traditional walls, digital exhibits reach audiences beyond the circulation desk and pave another way for libraries to share information, promote resources, and even lead change in the community.
Despite the growing interest, most library and information science (LIS) programs do not include exhibit development courses. It is not uncommon for librarians learn exhibit production on the job or through resources in the museum sector. Wearing many hats, librarians absorb exhibit work as part of community outreach initiatives, or take on exhibit duties as a general professional interest in the emerging field. Exhibits & Displays is a practical how-to guide that helps librarians unleash their library's potential to engage and wow visitors.
The guide explains how to kick-start and grow an exhibit program through expert advice, insights from professional literature, and winning case studies that cover exhibition development from conceptual planning through de-installation packing and evaluation.
Exhibits & Display: A Practical Guide for Librarians covers:
· Pre-planning
· Curation and content development
· Project management
· Graphic design and writing for readability
· Preservation and collection care
· Legal considerations and loan registration
· Installation/de-installation and maintenance tips
· Hands-on interactives and digital exhibits
· Educational programming
· Marketing
· Audience evaluation
· Supplemental examples and case studies

Librarians in academic, public, school, and special libraries will benefit from Exhibits & Displays: A Practical Guide for Librarians. The book is also an excellent textbook for LIS courses covering exhibition development and outreach.

Recenzii

This book is a solid primer for those interested in creating exhibitions or setting up an exhibit program at their institution. I found this book to be full of great ideas, processes and resources for creating good exhibits. The insights in this book will prepare anyone interested in creating, producing, and installing an exhibit in their library.
Library workers interested in creating displays and exhibits (of books, artworks, archival materials, etc.) will find this hands-on guide full of helpful advice. Ng-He and Gibbons have organized the chapters in order of the steps of putting together an exhibit. They discuss not only why libraries should create exhibits and displays but also how to follow an institution's vision, know one's audience, write effective text and labels, prepare and handle the items in physical displays, and plan, manage, and market an exhibit. Each of the chapters is readable and full of examples and concludes with definitions, key points, notes, references, and further reading. Whether librarians are new to or experienced in creating exhibits, they'll find this a useful guide. For those working in public, academic, school, and special libraries.
What a generous and helpful book! Reminding their readers that libraries are free, public, and well-used, the authors point out that they are perfect places for exhibits about books and anything else that will excite and educate people. Not stopping there, the writers also suggest that everyone can learn to make wonderful displays and then proceed to offer guidance to exhibit development that will be useful in all settings. I love the book's vivid and approachable writing-'Underlining text is clunky and sort of 'screamy''-and direct messages-'Variety is energizing.' But best, to me, is its can-do attitude-Yes, you, make an exhibit!-and presumption that exhibit makers should be concerned with their audiences. Exhibits must engage, the authors assert. And their book is a good guide toward that goal.
The kind of practical advice found here will be useful for any librarian hoping to create and curate exhibits or improve current ones. Advice by librarians, for librarians, is the best kind; I first became aware of Carol Ng-He's interest and expertise in library exhibits when she contributed a successful article to the ILA Reporter journal. These Illinois librarians have thought of everything exhibits so readers don't have to, from why and how, to promotion and programming around exhibits, to assessment.
Exhibits and Displays is particularly useful for those who are new to developing exhibitions or who work in an institution that is formulating a program of exhibitions for the first time. From planning to implementation, Ng-He and Gibbons offer clear steps for creating exhibitions effectively. They also remind the reader that a successful exhibition extends beyond the physical display to marketing, programming, and assessment.
This comprehensive book will be a welcome resource for librarians planning exhibitions. It covers everything from creating and installing to programming and assessment for exhibits of all sizes in every type of library. The authors draw on their years of training and experience with a variety of library exhibits, including small pop-up displays, traveling shows, and digital exhibitions. Case studies, vendor recommendations, and resources for further reading are also included.
Whether you are new to library exhibits or have years of experience,? Exhibits & Displays: A Practical Guide for Librarians ?is an informative and useful resource.? ?This comprehensive step-by-step guide covers everything librarians need to know to plan and implement high-quality exhibits that engage, educate, and inspire. Case studies from a variety of libraries illustrate best practices and provide valuable professional insights. From pop-ups to digital initiatives to traveling exhibits, this book provides the tools to launch a successful exhibition program that meets your library's needs.
