Designing a book display at the Woodward Library



On July 2019, Elizabeth Cardoso, one of the MLIS students at UBC iSchool, started her first Arts Co-op work term as Student Librarian at the Woodward Library. One of her first projects was to create an ocean book display for Science Literacy Week, that would be displayed at the Memorial Room.

Science Literacy Week highlights Canada’s outstanding scientists and science communicators from coast-to-coast. The goals are to showcase the excellence and diversity of Canadian science and to show how exciting science is. Be it as simple as a science-themed book display encouraging people to read something a little different to multi-day events, the Week offers something for everyone. For one week in September, libraries, universities, museums and other partners put on a spectacular nationwide festival of science.

On this video, she shares her co-op experience but also some helpful tips about the process of creating a book display. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Elizabeth!
