Library Policies - Exhibit Space

Who May Hold an Exhibit
or Display?
Only those persons, groups and
organizations affiliated with UNCW may have exhibits in Randall Library. Faculty
and staff members, departments, groups and organizations are welcome to request
to have displays that are class, research, campus life or curriculum
related.
Please note that all requests must be approved by the Exhibits and Displays Committee
of Randall Library.
Schedule
Our exhibits calendar is arranged one year in advance. The
Exhibits Committee requires
that your request for exhibit space be received 6 months in advance of the approximate
date you hope to install your display.
Installation and dismantling dates must be adhered to.
Exhibit Spaces
The Exhibits Committee is responsible for overseeing
three display venues: the glass cases near the front door and the portable
display walls.
Your display will be assigned to one of these locations, based on availability. Please
work completely within the space provided.
Exhibitors Responsibilities

be provided to allow any questions that arise to be directed to the proper
person.

answer any questions you may have and make suggestions to improve the
quality of the display.
