This book offers insights into changes brought about by the
enormous growth of the internet. There are new ways to share
cultural heritage materials through online finding aids, exhibits,
and other initiatives. What has been accomplished across libraries,
archives, and museums? The authors consider that question by using
case studies to explore activities in 14 libraries, archives,
museums, and other heritage organizations. They consider what we
can learn from current collaborations within and across libraries,
archives, and museums and why some collaborations are successful
while others cannot be sustained. Their findings are based on
observations and interviews at institutions and organizations in
the United States, Australia, and the U.K. These organizations have
worked to make their collections accessible. Some have simply
digitized their collections, while others have enhanced their
collection management systems. Others have incorporated digital
asset management systems to organize and retrieve media, and to
manage digital rights and permissions. Most of these institutions
and organizations have succeeded through strategic partnerships,
strategic planning, and insightful leadership. However, the book
also contains examples of institutions that have undergone
transitions: one of the museums closed, and another closed its
library. Taken together, the fourteen institutions shed light on
professional practices today.
