Ways library staff can get involved with exhibits at SML:
Librarian Exhibit Advisor
Open to all professional library staff with supervisor’s approval, the Librarian Exhibit Advisor is a rotating volunteer support role for exhibit production in the Sterling Memorial Library venues [3]. This person will offer guidance in content development to student curators and exhibit curators with little or no experience with SML exhibitions.
This opportunity has numerous benefits both for individual professional growth and in support of the library’s mission to support and enhance research, teaching, and learning at Yale. The Exhibits Production Coordinator will provide training for each new librarian exhibit advisor, and when necessary connect new exhibit advisors with other library staff who have prior exhibit experience.

If you have specific questions about being a librarian exhibit advisor please contact Kerri Sancomb [6], Exhibits Program Manager.
