The issues facing museums today have often become focused less on traditional museum disciplines. Instead, they embody local, national, and international issues that infiltrate the museum environment. This book addresses not only the changing situations museum professionals are dealing with, but it also considers the way in which academic learning and on the job professional development occur. Cases in Museum Management encourages discussions about timeless issues, but in today's context. Whether it is AI, protestors, preserving digital history subjects, NDAs and aggressive document retention policies, or living in a world of misinformation, these case studies will provide engaging, relevant, and timely discussions in the learning settings that are currently available to museum students and professionals.
