Exhibit Planning Guide

The following guide is intended to support Northwestern students, staff, faculty, and independent researchers consulting collections from the McCormick Library to curate displays, pop-up exhibits, and digital exhibits.

Digitization

Self-service scanners are available onsite and can be used for up to 30 minutes at a time once they have notified McCormick Library staff of their intention to scan. Staff reserves the right to limit the number of scans based on the physical condition of the material or available staff resources.

Contact the McCormick Library staff if you are interested in reproductions of audio-visual, born-digital materials, and oversized items, such as posters. Submit your request using our online request form. If you don’t already have an account with us, you will be asked to create one first. Once you do so and log in, you can click the link to access the form.

See our policies and procedures page for information on copyright restrictions.
