Libraries Archives and Museums in Transition

<p>In this anthology top scholars researching libraries archives and museums (LAM) issues in Scandinavia explore pressing issues for contemporary LAMs.</p><p>In recent decades relations between libraries archives and museums have changed rapidly: collections have been digitized; books documents and objects have been mixed in new ways; and LAMs have picked up new tasks in response to external changes. Libraries now host makerspaces and literary workshops archives fight climate change and support indigenous people and museums are used as instruments for economic growth and urban planning. At first glance the described changes may appear as a divergent development where the LAMs are growing apart. However this book demonstrates that the present transformation of LAMs is primarily a convergent development.</p><p><strong>Libraries Archives and Museums in Transition</strong> will be essential reading for students scholars and practitioners seeking to get on top of the LAM literature or the particularities of Scandinavian LAMs.</p>
