Best of Both Worlds

Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough has published a free e-book on the future of museums: Best of Both Worlds: Museums, Libraries, and Archives in a Digital Age (2013). To cut a long story (75 pages) short, Clough explains how museums can respond to the digital age by digitising appropriate material, such as 3D graphics, and helping users to locate it online. It should be top of any curator's reading list, providing it isn't too verbose. CLICK for the Smithsonian website, view the video and download your free e-book.
