What if museums could harness the emotional and intellectual
connections people have to personal and everyday objects to create
richer visitor experiences? In this book, Elizabeth Wood and
Kiersten Latham present the Object Knowledge Framework, a tool for
using objects to connect museum visitors to themselves, to others,
and to their world. They discuss the key concepts underpinning our
lived experience of objects and how museums can learn from them.
Then they walk readers through concrete methods for transforming
visitor-object experiences, including exercises and strategies for
teams developing exhibit themes, messages, and content, and
participatory experiences.

This broad introduction to museums benefits all educators who teach
introductory museum studies, addressing the discipline from a
holistic, dynamic, and document-centered perspective. Museums serve
to help us understand the past and navigate our future-as
individuals, as societies, and as a global community. A careful and
accurate assessment of a museum's purpose is crucial to its ability
to serve its users effectively. Foundations of Museum Studies:
Evolving Systems of Knowledge offers a holistic introduction to
museums and the study of them from the perspective of
specialization in museum studies within the context of library and
information science (LIS). The book strikes a balance between
theory and practice, examining museums from a systems perspective
that considers museums to be document-centered institutions-that
objects are documents that generate and convey information,
meaning, and inspiration. The authors utilize examples drawn from
their experience with institutions in the United States that can be
applied to museums across the world. Future museum professionals
who read this book will have a broader perspective, an expanded
skill set, and the adaptability to span the spectrum of traditional
academic disciplines. Frames museum studies within an information
context and specifically addresses the interests and concerns of
librarians Benefits all educators who teach introductory museum
studies, addressing the discipline from a holistic, dynamic, and
document-centered perspective Highlights how museums are embedded
in a larger cultural complex that includes libraries, archives, and
other information institutions
