Dear museum colleagues,
Does anyone have experience with developing a library service plan? or perhaps a strategic plan that addresses your service commitments? As part of a project to consolidate the collection of a small education library into our main museum research library, we would like to develop a service plan specifically for docents and museum educators, a group that previously has not made significant use of our research library. Our existing services are heavily slanted to curatorial and academic clients. We envision a more hands-on approach with docents and educators, including such things as workshops on research skills and internet literacy, reading lists for current exhibitions, etcetera.
It would also be helpful to hear from those of you whose libraries are organizationally located in the museum education division, about what you believe to be the major differences (if any) in library use profiles of educators and docents, and curators.
Thanks to everyone in advance,
Karen McKenzie
