Prospects & Strategies for Collaboration in Academic Art Museums & Libraries
In January 2016 the University of Miami hosted a working summit at which the administrative heads of art museums and libraries from fourteen academic institutions convened to explore the barriers to—and opportunities for—deeper intra-institutional museum-library collaborations. The summit, jointly funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, featured presentations by thought-leaders in the academic galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) sector and resulted in a white paper entitled Prospects and Strategies for Deep Collaboration in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums Sector. This paper presents a summary of the work, discussions, and outcomes of the summit including recommendations for further effort in the following areas: (1) collaborative practices; (2) shared budget strategies; (3) joint advocacy and advancement; and (4) future GLAM sector summits.
