Book Description
This book explores how digital culture is transforming museums in the 21st century. Offering a corpus of new evidence for readers to explore, the authors trace the digital evolution of the museum and that of their audiences, now fully immersed in digital life, from the Internet to home and work. In a world where life in code and digits has redefined human information behavior and dominates daily activity and communication, ubiquitous use of digital tools and technology is radically changing the social contexts and purposes of museum exhibitions and collections, the work of museum professionals and the expectations of visitors, real and virtual. Moving beyond their walls, with local and global communities, museums are evolving into highly dynamic, socially aware and relevant institutions as their connections to the global digital ecosystem are strengthened. As they adopt a visitor-centered model and design visitor experiences, their priorities shift to engage audiences, convey digital collections, and tell stories through exhibitions. This is all part of crafting a dynamic and innovative museum identity of the future, made whole by seamless integration with digital culture, digital thinking, aesthetics, seeing and hearing, where visitors are welcomed participants. The international and interdisciplinary chapter contributors include digital artists, academics, and museum professionals. In themed parts the chapters present varied evidence-based research and case studies on museum theory, philosophy, collections, exhibitions, libraries, digital art and digital future, to bring new insights and perspectives, designed to inspire readers. Enjoy the journey!

Book Description
Critical management studies (CMS) research began to emerge in the early 90s as some scholars recognized the oppressive and problematic management practices in the public and private sectors. Since then, CMS scholars have been critiquing dominant ideologies (e.g., managerialism, capitalism) that harm society and oppress workers. CMS scholars have also been exploring ways to redress management education such as re-designing curricula in management schools to include decolonial, feminist, and/or critical theories and concepts to name a few. Critical Management Studies and Librarianship unpacks current library management education and practices driven by the business, management, and organizational studies field through a critical lens. The book begins with an introduction to CMS and its relevance to libraries. The second section of the book offers insights from library professionals into how management education and practices rooted in current dominant ideologies impact work culture, and professional practice. The third section introduces inclusive leadership approaches that focus on equity and social justice and should be considered when designing library leadership programs. The aims of this book are to identify the oppressive logic of current library management practices and offer counter perspectives on ways to teach and frame library leadership.
