 ‘Not Museum Pieces’ is about:

•	Library and archive projects that are radically changing museum 
visitors’, communities’ and researchers’ engagement with collections
•	Making collections more accessible on the Web and enabling the 
public to contribute content
•	Innovation in information delivery and skills
•	Nurturing cross-domain partnerships between library, archive and 
museum professionals to transform collections access
•	The changing skills required of archivists and librarians and whether 
professional training is delivering these

The conference will interest curators, archivists, librarians, learning specialists, 
and web and new media people – in fact all who use, or work in, museum 
libraries and archives and are concerned about their future development.
