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.

Explore the life of Alice Millard, the antiquarian book seller who was at the forefront of the History of the Book discipline, and a tastemaker of her time.Women have played a significant role in the book trade since the beginning of printing. Unfortunately, many of them are now lost to history. Still, many articles and books have captured the various roles that women have played as printers, binders, publishers, editors, and booksellers. Less written about is the role of the women in the antiquarian book trade; however, it is an important part of the trade. Becoming Alice Millard is the story of how a largely self-educated young woman from a modest background became an urbane, internationally known antiquarian bookseller when almost no women worked in the high end of the trade, except as catalogers. Although Alice has been written about by many people, this book corrects the many inaccuracies about her that have been published—and persist. Correcting the record has not been easy; Alice spoke little about her past, didn’t keep a diary, and didn’t make copies of her correspondence.Key to understanding Alice Millard’s life is her relationship with books. This volume considers how she crafted her professional life. Crafted is the key word because Alice was a passionate proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement. She didn’t just sell items, she created educational and aesthetic experiences by teaching people about the value of those objects, by holding exhibitions and publishing catalogs, and by inviting people into her pioneering Frank Lloyd Wright home, La Miniatura.This book presents a more thorough view of Alice Millard’s life than has ever been presented before. It corrects commonly perpetuated myths, and dispels some of the mystery enveloping her life.
