Description

The Inclusive Museum Leader offers insights and perspectives from two recognized museum leaders who have joined together to offer practical solutions and opportunities responding to the call for museums to play an active social justice role.



About the Author

Working in museums for more than twenty years, Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko believes they have the power to change lives, inspire movements, and challenge authority.

A museum director since 2001, Cinnamon is a frequent presenter at national museum meetings and is often asked to comment on national museum issues. As the president/CEO of the Abbe Museum (Bar Harbor) from 2009 to 2019, she was the motivational leader behind the museum's decolonization initiative, working with the Native communities in Maine to develop policies and protocols to ensure collaboration and cooperation with Wabanaki people. Prior to joining the Abbe in 2009, Cinnamon was the director of the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum in Crawfordsville, Indiana where she led the organization to the National Medal for Museum Service in 2008. In 2019, Cinnamon became the director of the Illinois State Museum. Cinnamon holds a BA in anthropology and art history from Purdue University, and is a graduate of the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville) MA program in anthropology with a specialization in museum studies.

In 2016 Cinnamon gave her first TEDx talk, We Must Decolonize Our Museums (www.tedxdirigo.com) and she's been featured on the Museopunks podcast series. She's the author of Museum Administration 2.0 (2016) published by Rowman & Littlefield, The Art of Healing: The Wishard Art Collection (2004) published by the Indiana Historical Society, and co-editor of the Small Museum Toolkit (2012) published by Rowman & Littlefield.

Chris Taylor spent 15 years working in museums, primarily at the Minnesota Historical Society. He began his career as an educator, but quickly saw the power that history can have on an individual's identity. Through the stories they elevate (or suppress), museums have the power to either fortify or disrupt the status quo, but Chris came to understand that this must be an intentional choice. He began teaching undergraduate courses at the University of Minnesota on "Diversity in the Museum Field" as part of a museum fellowship program designed to increase the diversity of museum professionals. At the Minnesota Historical Society, he successfully created the department of inclusion and community engagement to steward the museums systemic efforts for inclusion and equity. He also became the first chief inclusion officer in the museum field, a role he occupied for 4 years. Museums around the country sought out Chris as a consultant for their inclusion and equity efforts. In 2019, Chris Taylor was recruited to become the chief inclusion officer for the state of Minnesota, one of only two states to have such a position. There he leads the development and implementation of a statewide strategy for inclusion and equity across over 20 state agencies. His publications include "Getting Our House in Order: Moving from Diversity to Inclusion" published in The American Archivist.

Using Technology in the Library Workplace: An Introduction for Support Staff is a very thorough and up-to-date overview of all the types of technology support staff may encounter in their daily work. It is useful for workers in all types of libraries - public, academic, and school (K-12), whether for new learning or review.

-- Sandra Rosado, librarian, head of technical service, Eastern Connecticut State University

Library support staff students must meet the challenges that have impacted our libraries since COVID-19. Marie Shaw's textbook, Using Technology in the Library Workplace: An Introduction for Support Staff, has succeeded in doing just that. Her book provides LSS students with a strong foundation on technology trends and developments and how they impact library function and services.

-- Anastasia Weigle, assistant professor, University of Maine, Augusta

Dr. Marie Shaw has excelled for years in keeping up with the current technology needs of library support staff. Students in the community college course I instruct and develop have been relying on her wide variety of coverage on library technology topics for over five years. From the terminology to the discussion prompts, Dr. Shaw has covered her bases in meeting the needs of those pursuing a career in the profession.

-- Austin Stroud, public library director, Monon Town and Township Public Library, and adjunct faculty in library programs at Ivy Tech Community College and IUPUI

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
