Download or read book The Museum written by Michael S. Sharpiro and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1990-07-24 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical bibliography of museum studies comprises an organized collection of essays on the various types of museums--art, natural history, history, science and technology, and folk--and on general aspects--collections, education, exhibitions, etc.--that cut across the media. Most of the essays are cogent, substantial if not comprehensive, and clear. The editor has taken care to see that they follow a similar format of historical essay followed by a full bibliography of items discussed. Library Journal As the number of museums in the United States has grown to more than 6500 in this century, the museum profession has experienced similar growth. In addition to academic training and accreditation programs in the field, an expanding body of literature on museum history, philosophy, and functions has evolved, little of which has received the critical attention it deserves. This reference volume serves as an up-to-date guide to this wealth of literature, identifying and evaluating works that introduce the general reader, the museum studies student, and the beginning professional to the history, philosophy, and functions of museums. The volume presents a series of informative, historical outlines and critical bibliographic essays on all aspects of museum history, philosophy, and functions. Contributors treat such subjects as art museums, natural history museums, science and technology museums, history museums, collections, exhibition, education and interpretation, and the public and museums. Each chapter consists of an introductory historical narrative, a survey of sources, and a bibliographic checklist that contains cited and additional sources. A set of appendices include a geographically organized bibliography of museum directories, a guide to archives and special collections, and a selective list of museum-related periodicals. The book concludes with a comprehensive general subject index. This work will be an important reference tool for museum professionals and cultural historians, as well as for courses in museum studies. It will also be a valuable addition to both academic and public libraries.

Download or read book The funding of science and discovery centres written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-10-22 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and discovery centres make up an extremely diverse group with the common characteristic of the use of interactive exhibits to promote awareness of scientific issues and to spark people's curiosity, particularly those of children and young people. They provide informal education in all kinds of scientific and technological areas, including astronomy, ecology, energy generation, engineering, marine biology, medicine and physics. The Committee's report examines the role and effectiveness of science centres, how science centres are co-ordinated and organised, and how they are funded. Findings include that in the short term, given that a number of science centres are struggling financially and risk closure, the Government should make available limited, competitively-awarded, short-term funding to support these centres, as well as reducing the tax burden on science and other educational centres. However, the Committee agrees with the Government's stance that it should not fund failing centres and recommends that the Government commission independent research to ascertain their effectiveness. Ecsite-uk is well placed to assess models that exist in Scotland and internationally, with a view to implementing structural and best practice guidance that promotes co-ordination between science centres across the UK. The report also welcomes the offer by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills to take responsibility for science centres, and recommends that this responsibility be formally written into the Ministerial portfolio.
