Approximately 6,000 students attend the university and have the opportunity to live and study in the incredible natural beauty of the area, including our many beaches and ancient redwood forests. However, the county is quite remote and isolated from the rest of California, with limited health and social services to support its population.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CN:<\/strong> Were you trying to connect with any specific groups within your community?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30484\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30484\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"30484\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2024\/09\/12\/making-exhibition-connections-cal-poly-humboldt-university-library\/dinscore_with-chinn\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 14&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1714144527&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"dinscore_with-Chinn\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;From L to R: Dr. Eden Donahue, Associate Director of the Nursing Program; Amanda Dinscore, College of Professional Studies Librarian; and local humanitarian Betty Kwan Chinn&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?fit=840%2C840&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30484\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Three women pose in front of an exhibition banner.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?resize=840%2C840&amp;ssl=1 840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dinscore_with-Chinn.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30484\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From L to R: Dr. Eden Donahue, Associate Director of the Nursing Program; Amanda Dinscore, College of Professional Studies Librarian; and local humanitarian Betty Kwan Chinn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>AD:<\/strong> As a librarian that was new to the university, and to the area, I was looking for ways to connect with the programs in my assigned college, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/nursing.humboldt.edu\/\">RN-BSN Nursing Program<\/a>, which had been newly reestablished in 2020.

With a small university grant, we were able to purchase 350 copies of her biography and distribute them to local nurses and other health care workers. Inside each book, we included stickers with a QR code directing recipients to a <a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.humboldt.edu\/NLMGlobalHealth\">website<\/a> where we advertised the exhibition, a library display of local archival materials related to the exhibition theme, and a book discussion that we hosted with Betty Kwan Chinn and the book\u2019s author, Karen Price. On the website, we also shared the PSA videos that the students created and an online form where community members could vote on their favorite video. The top three most popular PSAs were awarded cash prizes, also made possible by the university grant. The book give-away was an excellent vehicle for promoting the exhibition as well as celebrating the students\u2019 considerable work on their PSA projects.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"30478\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2024\/09\/12\/making-exhibition-connections-cal-poly-humboldt-university-library\/amanda_slidesjpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?fit=1436%2C804&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1436,804\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"amanda_slidesjpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?fit=840%2C470&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-30478\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?resize=840%2C470&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A series of presentation slides describing different elements of the outreach around the exhibition.\" width=\"840\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?resize=1024%2C573&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?resize=768%2C430&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?resize=840%2C470&amp;ssl=1 840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/amanda_slidesjpg.jpg?w=1436&amp;ssl=1 1436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a>CN: <\/strong>Did you have any challenges during your hosting period?

We had the traveling exhibition on loan from April 8\u2013May 18, 2024 and planned our local display and events for that period of time. To extend the content of the exhibition, I created a library display highlighting local connections to health advocacy, entitled <em>Thinking Globally, Acting Locally: Stories About Global Health in Humboldt County,<\/em> with profiles of local organizations including United Indian Health Services, Open Door, and the Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation, as well as historical materials on these organizations from our library archives. This display unfortunately had a limited audience due to the campus closure (which began the evening after I put up the display), but it remained up throughout the summer. We also had to find alternate venues for our book discussion and other events. Thankfully, the exhibition banners were easy to take down and set up again. They were on display in three different locations during our loan period!<\/p>\n<p><strong>CN: <\/strong>Did hosting the exhibition encourage research in or use of your own collection?<\/p>\n<p><strong>AD: <\/strong>Our plan was to encourage use of our archival collections as described above, but this was cut short due to the campus closure. However, as a librarian new to the area, it was incredibly educational to comb through our collections and discover the history of how some of our local health organizations have developed over time. Many began as grassroots, community driven organizations that have continued to grow and have come to be relied upon in a county that has been historically underserved.
