List members may be interested in this collection of three new books from MuseumsEtc, currently available with Early-Bird 30% savings. Full details are available at: http://bit.ly/MusEtc_DXS This a major 950-page resource which draws on the experience and thinking of many of the world's most experienced and respected museum professionals. It examines how - in a new reality after Covid-19 - deaccessioning is likely to be a key element of a future in which issues of social justice, inequality, race, pay and decolonisation will impact collections as never before. The three volumes are: *Conversations with Museum Directors*, *Towards a New Reality*, and *Case Studies*. They are available together, separately, and as an eBook edition. Edited by Stefanie S Jandl and Mark S Gold, with a Foreword by Melody Kanschat and Antoniette M Guglielmo of the Museum Leadership Institute. "At last a book that interrogates the role of collections and deaccessions in museums at this crucial time of questioning all orthodoxies and paving a smarter, brighter path forward." Anne Pasternak | Director | Brooklyn Museum "With this work, museum leaders can make confident decisions building on the experience and perspectives of their seasoned museum colleagues."Sebastián Encina | Chair | Collections Stewardship Professional Network | American Alliance of Museums Graeme Farnell Publisher, MuseumsEtc _______________________________________________________ MuseumsEtc UK: Hudson House | 8 Albany Street | Edinburgh EH1 3QB USA: 675 Massachusetts Ave., Ste 11 | Cambridge | MA 02139 _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected] To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://lists.mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
