How do you highlight what makes your institution unique?

Rachel Rossi, Public Services and Circulation Librarian at the Barco Law Library, University of Pittsburgh School of Law, has leveraged the recently-launched Digital Commons Exhibits to create compelling experiences that feature the unique people, collections, and contributions of Pitt Law. From the Roz Litman Digital Exhibit to Breaking Barriers: Celebrating Diversity at Pitt Law, Rachel’s work captures the scholarship, images, interviews, and documents of some of the institution’s most important moments.

We invite you to join us for this webinar, where Rachel will discuss how they have used Digital Commons Exhibits to enhance the visibility of their collections, the potential impact of Digital Commons Exhibits on future funding and content acquisition, generating ideas on leveraging Digital Commons Exhibits to support broader initiatives at the library and within the law school, and what they imagine for the future.

She’ll also share recommendations and advice for maximizing the potential of Digital Commons Exhibits.

Attendees will come away with a solid understanding of how to leverage Digital Commons Exhibits to increase the visibility of their institution’s treasured moments and collections.
