Editor's Notes

• #4: Display Cases: 3 glass 65" X 45" X 9" w/ interior lighting – OLD, shelving is difficult to adjust, lights go out constantly
• #5: Alcove – Not always used, usually has seating, place for glass table; high traffic (good and bad)
• #6: Long L-shaped hallway/corridor with many doors, signs, monitors, horrible lighting and asbestos ceiling
• #7: Commons: Much small space now –very flexible
• #9: Most pertinent information to our regular patrons
• #11: Use to delineate the display space
• #14: Look for the experts around you! I’m fortunate in working at a college where scholars abound, but they’re everywhere!
• #15: Local businesses, Chamber of Commerce – make it special, get them in to see what you’re doing. Get their support!
• #16: Local Artists: Always looking for more exposure, often give their work to show for free (Jazz musicians for Black History Month)
• #17: If you’ve got a display: make it active!
• #18: Speakers, Film Series, Book discussions
• #19: Obvious: Reception with a chance to see the display, food, tours…
• #20: Meteor from Cornell & showing off the new telescope on campus!
• #21: Don’t just think about the regulars – special session for homeschoolers gets kids into a college library early!
• #22: Philosophy debate
• #23: Something More: Recreating the Galaxy. Get them to interact and interpret their experience
• #24: Recreating the Galaxy: Dance class choreographed and performed their interpretation of the images in the display
• #26: Walls were white
• #27: Painting them green made the space more formal
• #28: Using greenery to break up the space, cover some of the problems, bring in dimension; Also printed some images on very large paper – high quality images needed (and CIT)!
• #29: Student painted design on the wall
• #30: Glass lettering – glows in the sunlight
• #31: Instead of plain background.. Take a photo.. Accordion fold to give it texture. If artifact is too small.. Take a photo and enlarge it so they can see detail. Ask folks what they have lying around their homes!!!
• #32: Drilled hole in bottom to allow electricity and show off the glass of the display
• #33: Texture
• #34: Add texture/ambiance – printed 6’ X 2’ – burned edges with candle and smoked sections to give it an old look.
• #35: Need an easy and inexpensive way to fill space? Muslin and a marker!
• #37: Insist on research for context! Many times things are handed to me to slap on the wall… I can do some research, but I need their expertise. With a little prodding, it usually comes out better than expected.
• #39: Inspiration: Weather balloon, decoupaged – BEAUTIFUL!!!
• #40: Three days later…
• #41: Pulled in everyone for a crazy idea…
• #42: Cover it in foam insulation! Coler Natural insulation donated to us in exchange for promoting his business…
• #43: Hours of painting…
• #44: While not as aesthetically pleasing, it became a much-talked-about centerpiece to the whole exhibit. It’s still talked about by students! (truth window)
• #45: Failure is a chance to make a bigger and better statement!
