Summary
"Libraries, museums, and patterns of patron use have changed drastically in past decades as digitization projects, "infotainment," and the Internet redefine the library's and the museum's roles in the community. These authors examine the unique social roles of libraries and museums and explore the implications for the future of these institutions. After reviewing historical precedents - including library-museum partnerships funded in recent years through IMLS grants - they forge an exciting vision of a new library-museum hybrid, in which the juxtaposition of library collections and museum artifacts creates authentic, interactive experiences for community members, and establishes a meaningful and sustainable role for libraries. Commercialization, "edutainment," and the library as a learning community are just some of the fascinating topics addressed as the authors explore the future's terrain, and suggest how libraries might situate themselves upon that terrain."--BOOK JACKET.
