Presentation given at Georgia Library Conference

Abstracts

Are your library displays effective and worth the time and resources? Often, displays are created to highlight holidays, month-long observances, or new acquisitions. However, with a little extra thought and planning, a library display can target special populations, provide the gateway to conversation, and information literacy competence. The session will be led by three academic librarians sharing their experience creating effective and measurable library displays. The session will offer participants an opportunity to plan similar library displays through a verbally and visually-guided design session that begins with the ACRL Knowledge Practice to be addressed, and working backwards through assessment possibilities
