I am the new editor of the annual journal published by GEM (Group for
Education in Museums) which explores issues of museum and gallery education
both in the UK and around the world. GEM is the professional organisation
for everybody involved in museum and gallery education.
It has been decided that the next issue, which will be published at the end
of the year, should have as its main theme the whole issue of
cross-sectoral work, particularly in the area of improving provision for
library and museum users.
I have had some response from my fellow museum professionals after a call
for articles but I thought that this was only part of the picture. I was
wondering what librarians feel about the possibilities of cross-sectoral
educational provision.
So is there anybody out there in the library world who is willing to write
a 1000-1500 word piece about cross-sectoral work. It should have a strong
theoretical basis to it but could also be a case study with a theoretical
underpinning. It should be ready by the end of August.
In order to stimulate thought and discussion I would also be open to a
piece that is a little contrary and actually feels that cross-sectoral work
need not be a good thing in itself. If you feel that way and can put
forward a well-thought-out and congent argument in about 1000 words, then I
would like to hear from you.
For all replies please reply off-list to [log in to unmask]
