The University/College Library (UCL) has numerous display cases, bulletin boards, and designated exhibit areas. All displays are prepared by College staff. The purpose of the displays is to highlight various materials held in the College’s collections, to inform the University/College Library community of items of interest in particular subject areas, and to demonstrate the activities of the library to the college and the community.
Displays may feature courses being taught or special events of the campus or the community if they are appropriate to the interests of the University/College Library community.
Requests or suggestions for special displays in the display cases must be made to the Broward College Libraries Outreach Committee. Criteria for displays include the quality of presentation, relevance to the University/College Library community, and appropriateness to the library.
Proposals for displays or exhibits must be submitted in writing to the Broward College Libraries Outreach Committee at least six weeks prior to the proposed display date. The committee reserves the right to review a display in advance. The normal duration of a display will range from one to four weeks. The UCL is not responsible for the security of display materials.
Any proposed postings on bulletin boards must be submitted for approval to the Library Administrative Office. If approved they will be stamped, dated, and posted on a bulletin board. The postings will be displayed until the event has concluded, or for a maximum of one month. Displays should not advocate the political, religious, or other doctrines of any person or group, or be for any commercial purposes, and they cannot be used to sell goods or services.
In the event of a complaint concerning a display, which must be made in writing, the Broward College Libraries Outreach Committee will meet to review the complaint and to make a recommendation to the Dean of the Libraries and Academic Success Centers on what, if any, action should be taken, including revision or withdrawal of a display or exhibit.
