Exhibits at the University of Oregon Libraries

The exhibits program of the University of Oregon Libraries is a valuable means of promoting the educational mission of the libraries and its relationship with the academic community.

The goals of the exhibit program are

to highlight the strengths and diversity of the library's collections
to promote library programs and campus events
to acknowledge gifts and to encourage giving
to celebrate library and university milestones and accomplishments

Current Exhibit

Our current exhibit, entitled "In Celebration of the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance Chamber Music Series 40th Anniversary,\" was developed by Leslie Bennett, head of the Music Services Department at the UO Libraries. This exhibit provides an overview of forty years of performances through several lists of top performers, repertoire, and composers associated with the Chamber Music Series. The top honor in the performers category goes to the renowned Tokyo String Quartet, which has appeared a total of ten times, followed by the Emerson String Quartet, which has appeared on five occasions and is scheduled to appear in the current season
