John,
    I am an MA candidate in Public History in Albany, NY, and have two
texts that might be of interest to you.  We used one in my Introduction
to Historic Sites Management class last semester, and the other was in
the Introduction to Public History class.  Both would have broad
application to your curriculum, I think.  They are:

James Gardner and Peter LaPaglia, eds. Public History: Essays from the Field
Sara Dubberly, ed. Organizing Your Museum: The Essentials

Both books are collections of essays that cover all facets of museum
operations, which I gather is what you're looking for the text to do.
     On a personal note, I grew up in Fredericksburg, am on sabbatical
from Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania NMP, and my sister is in the American
Studies Program at MWC.
     Good luck with your search.
