Technology and Digital Initiatives: Innovative Approaches for
Museums discloses the ways in which technology is used as a means
of communicating with visitors through podcasts, apps, websites,
and blogs; as an educational enhancement through off-site
e-learning and onsite participation at interactive kiosks; and as
non-site-based experiences through collaborative initiatives
providing open access to collections worldwide. This book offers
ten case studies that address technology and digital initiatives
from the perspective of initiators and consumers. Each of the
chapters consider the use of technology in as a means of
communicating with visitors through apps, websites, and other
online resources used onsite and off-site. For example, strategies
of museums detailed on a global level by Jane Alexander and
Elizabeth Bolander of The Cleveland Museum of Art and Sree
Sreenivasan of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alexander and
Bolander walk us through the creation of a digital roadmap, a
digital vision that links the museum's mission and strategic plans
to the needs of its constituencies. Sree contends that museums can
lead the way with innovation in the digital sector. And he offers
lessons from his experience at the Met that might provide
guidelines for your work and your museum. 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: Jane Alexander, Elizabeth
