Engagement and Access: Innovative Approaches for Museums addresses
how museums forge two-way communication and engaged participation
through the use of community curation, social media, collaboration,
and inquiry-based learning. Such approaches demonstrate how museums
serve as thriving, central gathering places in communities and
offer meaningful, creative educational experiences. This book
addresses how museums forge two-way communication and engaged
participation through the use of community curation, social media,
collaboration, and inquiry-based learning. The examples of
engagement and access in this volume are paradigmatic of a shift in
thinking. Each of these case studies advocate for doing and
listening. That is to say, these institutions understand the
importance of meeting the needs of audiences. And, in the
twenty-first century, those audiences are onsite as well as online.
While they represent only a handful of initiatives and engaging
experiences thriving in museums today, they help us to see
engagement and access in terms of virtual collections, the crowd
(as in crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and crowdcrafting), and the
onsite experience. The Innovative Approaches for Museums series
offers case studies, written by scholars and practitioners from
museums, galleries, and other institutions, that showcase the
original, transformative, and sometimes wholly re-invented methods,
techniques, systems, theories, and actions that demonstrate
innovative work being done in the museum and cultural sector
throughout the world. The authors come from a variety of
institutions-in size, type, budget, audience, mission, and
collection scope. Each volume offers ideas and support to those
working in museums while serving as a resource and primer, as much
as inspiration, for students and the museum staff and faculty
training future professionals who will further develop future
innovative approaches. Contributions by: Charles Chen, Anne Corso,
Jan Freedman, William Hennessey, Ashley Hosler, J. Patrick
Kociolek, Sarah Lampen, Jennifer L. Lindsay, Margot Note, Stephanie
Parrish, Marisa J. Pascucci, Janet Sinclair, Siobhan Starrs,
Barbara W. Stauffer, Eric Steen, and Alison Zeidman
