My new book from Museums Etc!

If you weren't at the Museum  Computer Network conference in Minneapolis, you might have missed the news that I have a book coming out later this month from Museums Etc. CODE | WORDS: Technology and Theory in the Museum brings together leading museum thinkers and practitioners to explore emerging issues about the nature of museums in the light of the dramatic and ongoing impact of digital technologies.

I hope you'll consider picking up a copy. The authors are an international group of leading practitioners in the field. Check out the table of contents. If you're the sort who's swayed by endorsements, Sree Sreenivasan, Chief Digital Officer, Metropolitan Museum of Art, called it, “Exciting, important and wide-ranging.” Nina Simon, Executive Director, Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, author of The Participatory Museum, said, “Like the future, it is experimental, uncertain, and brilliant.”

A proportion of the sales of CODE | WORDS will support the Museum Computer Network Scholarship Fund.
