Letting Go?: Sharing Historical Authority in a User-Generated World

This was a great collection of articles about how museums are changing in the modern world. This is a must-read for emerging and veteran museum professionals alike.

The book shipped and arrived just as I had expected it to. What more can I ask. Book was in the condition as described.

I couldn't do my readings for class because half of the book is missing. Not sure why the eBook would not include all the pages that are in the regular book.
