As mentioned last week, staff in the Collections Services division have been creating a “behind the scenes” look at the work we do to get books to the shelf. The exhibit is now up! Come see a selection of the work we do to make sure the book you need is on the shelf when you need it.
The Library Uncovered: Behind the Scenes with Collections Services
Exhibit dates: December 19, 2022 – June 4, 2023

We captured a few in-process installation photos to pique your interest. The exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours.

Hello from Minnesota! I’ve been following reports on this installation since I first saw it mentioned (discussion list or Troublesome Catalogers, I can’t recall). For those of us far away, any plans to do a virtual tour? There are hoards of us cataloger-types who would love to see this and just can’t get to the physical location. thanks for considering!
Let’s talk, I’ll shoot you an email.
