The Library maintains a calendar of exhibits that are repeated annually. At the discretion of the Library Outreach Committee, traveling exhibits or new displays as created by teaching faculty, student groups, local agencies, or Library staff may be substituted. The regular calendar of exhibits exists to be relied on in the event that the Committee has not approved any proposals for new exhibits.

Exhibits may include artifacts of any kind on any subject that will be of general educational or cultural interest to the university community. The following types of exhibits will be given priority:

• Exhibits which assist members of the university community in understanding and making use of Library, University, and community resources or of special relevance to the Library's collections and services.
• Exhibits which showcase research or scholarly work performed on campus by faculty or students and are instructional in content.
• Exhibits pertaining to major events on campus or in the community.

From time to time, traveling exhibits are made available to the Library. The Library Outreach Committee will be responsible for selecting and obtaining appropriate exhibits of this type, and will give special consideration to those that are free of charge.

Faculty, student groups, or others interested in sponsoring an exhibit in the Library should fill out an Exhibit Proposal Form and submit it to the Library for consideration no less than two months prior to the proposed start date.
