Abstract

Research faculty journal covers were used to create a gallery in the Science & Technology branch library at the University of Akron. The selection, presentation, and promotion process is shared along with copyright considerations and a review of galleries used for library outreach. The event and display was a great success attracting faculty and administration that had rarely if ever entered the library. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
