“…One notable exception focused on the experience of hosting the traveling exhibit “Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature,” created by the NLM and the American Library Association (ALA), at the Coates Library at Trinity University. 1 This library experienced increased gate counts while hosting the exhibit, as well as increased usage of the library in the year following the exhibit. The article also focused on partnerships between the library and other organizations on and off campus, including a co-hosting partnership with a health sciences library.…”

In an effort to reach out to library users and make the library a more relevant, welcoming place, the University of Florida’s Health Science Center Library hosted exhibits from the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) Traveling Exhibition Program. From 2010 through 2012, the library hosted four NLM exhibits and created event series for each. Through reflection and use of a participant survey, lessons were learned concerning creating relevant programs, marketing events, and forming new partnerships. Each successive exhibit added events and activities to address different audiences. A survey of libraries that have hosted NLM exhibits highlights lessons learned at those institutions.

This article describes how the reference department at a large academic health sciences library evolved to address the clinical and research information needs of the parent organization without losing its close connections to the classroom and curriculum. Closing the reference desk, moving to on-call and house call models, designing positions such as clinical research librarian and basic biomedical sciences librarian, finding alternative funding to grow the department, providing technology and training to facilitate librarians' work, and developing programming for and taking advice from library clients facilitated efforts to create a relevant presence and solidify the library's place in the university community.
