- W2023593991 abstract "Although academic library exhibitions have been referred as illegitimate children, (1) tangential chief mission of their institutions, literature on subject substantiates their significance both public relations and educational goals. (2) The latter objective, in tune with fundamental service mission of libraries, is perhaps so widely touted because of its altruistic aspect. Yet interest in forum as a showcase for public consumption of library treasures is often more pragmatic, arising in part from need broaden bases of financial support compensate for a decrease in traditional sources of revenue. The incompatibility of these two goals poses something of a dilemma for exhibit designers and curators. Creating exhibits with a level of scholarship rigorous enough engage specialist will not necessarily attract large audiences; exhibitions must be comprehensible co both the uninitiated as well as initiated. (3) Yet, satisfying public relations goal means drawing in large numbers of viewers, many of whom may have more interest in being entertained than in being educated. At University of Virginia (UVa) Library, exhibitions had been an integral part of library public relations efforts since mid-1940s. (4) As groundbreaking date loomed for construction of Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library and its exhibition space, be housed in Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature, and Culture, library's exhibitions program underwent reorganization. The position of library exhibits coordinator was created and filled, and an exhibitions committee was formed with following charge: to generate and develop ideas for exhibits in Special Collections that would attract audiences, especially of students and faculty; raise library's visibility; and further library's development program. (5) As a member of that committee, I had become aware of difficulties involved in inveigling likely curators, due time-consuming nature of work and strict deadlines imposed by exhibits schedule. (6) Nevertheless, lured by prospect of becoming better acquainted with rare-music collections and armed with promise of release time and collegial support, I accepted invitation curate fall 2001 exhibition, scheduled for a five-month run from September 2001 mid-February 2002. My task would be choose a music topic with sufficient audience appeal, select exhibit materials, draft commentary for display labels and text, and consult on related topics during various stages of exhibit planning and installation. The following narrative presents a compendium of useful strategies and techniques that I garnered through contact with a network of experienced colleagues during our year of collaboration on Lift Every Voice. Much of what worked well for us can be adapted libraries of various types and sizes, and lack of expert staff or a large exhibitions budget need not deter any interested party from carrying out an equally successful endeavor. While many case studies of library exhibitions have been published, (7) literature pertaining music displays is scanty, and it is my hope that this example of a successful music exhibition may help fill that gap. TARGETING AN AUDIENCE A number of forces conspired in choice of theme for Lift Every Voice, chief among them library's stated goal of attracting and entertaining a wide cross section of visitors, especially from faculty and student populations. Examining registrar's rolls for courses offered by McIntire Department of Music, I noted healthy attendance at Anglo-American Folk Music and Dance, History of Jazz, African Dance and Drum Ensemble, All Shook Up: Elvis Presley, Great Ladies of American Song, Introduction Music in American Sound Cinema, and Popular Culture and Music, which suggested a strong level of interest in American and African vernacular genres. …" @default.
