Abstract
In 2015, the J. Murrey Atkins Library recruited faculty, staff, alumni, and students to submit digital images of photomicrographic art, which were printed and placed on exhibit in the library’s main lobby. Visualizing Science: Microscopic Images from UNC Charlotte celebrated research with 43 intriguing images, bringing science to the lay community. Events included an open house, publicity in a local newspaper, and the presentation of a student seminar to guests from a local retirement community. Additionally, the images were accessible in an online version. Libraries are encouraged to organize similar exhibits after evaluating the approaches taken by the exhibit committee.
