On December 8, 16 students in Dr. Jeff Lerner’s FYS on Herodotus discussed their exhibits as a final projects. While the doors let in extremely cold air and people streamed in and out of Starbucks, the class which were divided into groups of 2 and 3, discussed each display. These students will worked on their projects in Preservation and installed them in the library exhibit cases. I met the class in October and discussed what made a good exhibit. After I gave them my handouts, we came as a group over to the library. I showed them how to use the online catalog and then took them to Preservation, where they would do most of their work. I really believe that getting the students into the library lets them use our space in a different way than they would normally. This process allows them to feel at home in the library and really see how much we have to offer. The exhibits are a big success!
