The IMMS Exhibitions feature is a way to curate collections of titles. These collections are called Exhibition Groups.
Exhibition Groups can be created locally or systemwide, and assigned to display spaces in the system. As Exhibition items are checked out from a display space, IMMS will automatically send more items from that Exhibition Group to refill the display.
Systemwide Exhibition Groups are a shared asset that can be assigned to one or many display spaces in the system.
Local Exhibition Groups are only assigned to a display space at the branch that created them.
Regional Librarians will collaborate with branch staff to create and manage local Exhibition Groups.
Regional Librarians will refer complex Exhibition questions and issues to the Systemwide Collection Management Team.
Guidelines
There should not be an excessive number of local Exhibition Groups active at any given time.
Regional Librarians will review and delete expired lists regularly.
If an expired list will be used again later (e.g. next year’s Black History Month or Pride Month), you can export the list and then re-import it the next time it’s needed.
An Exhibition Group should have enough titles to keep the display space stocked.
As items are checked out from a display space, IMMS will automatically send items to refill it.
Please do not create local Exhibition Groups that duplicate the effort of systemwide Exhibition Groups.
Please do not assign other branches' local Exhibition Groups to display spaces at your branch.
