S. Hoole holdings, using broad search terms like \u201cgrammar\u201d and \u201cwriting.\u201d \u00a0Of course, this procedure generated very long lists of search results, but I firmly believe that in special collections work it is always better to generate the long list and take the time to work through it: you never know if number 256 in the list is going to turn out to be something fascinating.\u00a0 Additionally, it does not actually take too long to pare down these long lists of search results into a manageable number of items.\u00a0 In doing this initial search and subsequent winnowing, I determined that the Hoole Library does in fact have a varied and interesting collection of rare book materials in the area of grammar and writing instruction, although this collection fell outside of the time period and geographical range that I usually study.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1942\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarSearch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1942\" class=\"wp-image-1942 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarSearch-1024x452.jpg\" alt=\"GrammarSearch\" width=\"640\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarSearch-1024x452.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarSearch-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarSearch-900x398.jpg 900w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarSearch.jpg 1673w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Search term &#8220;grammar&#8221;

on the other hand, my exhibit needed to represent the actual range and strengths of the Hoole collection.\u00a0 Despite having a specific research interest, there is a considerable extent to which I needed to the materials themselves dictate the form and content of the final product.\u00a0 An initial conception of what an exhibition might be like must not become a Procrustean bed.\u00a0 As it happens, my search turned up plenty of items that I never expected to find.\u00a0 This is one reason why generating that initial long list, although it takes a bit more time and involves a bit more work, is absolutely worth the trouble.\u00a0 Once I had had a good look at each item I had called up, I was able to pare down this list pretty efficiently to a manageable number.\u00a0 I did my best to organize my texts in such a way that they followed a more-or-less chronological progression, while still being clustered together in thematic sections, and tried to ensure simultaneously that those sections corresponded with the physical display cases that I had to work with.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1943\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarLand2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1943\" class=\"wp-image-1943 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarLand2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"GrammarLand2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarLand2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarLand2-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/GrammarLand2.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The English Reader<\/em>, one of the books chosen for the exhibition, Rare Books\u00a0PE1120 .M83 1815<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Once I had my books selected and my exhibit sections defined, I had to draft the text for the exhibit.\u00a0 This meant writing short explanations of each section of the exhibit as well as writing a longer Curatorial Essay to explain its overall aims.\u00a0 This kind of public scholarship was a new genre for me, and I knew it would be important to strike the right balance between intellectual rigor and popular appeal.\u00a0 I ran the text past some of my colleagues in the English Department, as well as some friends of mine outside of academia and made some minor modifications to the text on the basis of the feedback I received, and the resulting draft got Amy Chen\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I needed a poster.\u00a0 I consulted with Muzel Chen of the <a title=\"Alabama Digital Humanities Center\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lib.ua.edu\/digitalhumanities\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alabama Digital Humanities Center<\/a>, who helped me to design it.\u00a0 Since I was already borrowing the title of Nesbitt\u2019s book for my exhibit, I decided to use the cover of Nesbitt\u2019s book as the basis for the poster, which Amy Chen arranged to have printed through the Cartography Lab here on campys.\u00a0 She also handled the printing of the exhibit text through the Cart Lab and the mounting of the exhibition in the display cases, and I must say that she did a terrific job of making the exhibit attractive and elegant, and of doing a bit of rearranging of materials to make them better fit the physical space of the cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to other faculty members interested in the opportunity of creating their own exhibition with material from the Division of Special Collections?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>When you are making your initial searches of the library catalog, do not be afraid to generate long lists of search results.
