Subject: Best book for Museum Studies???

 

To all,

 

            I have listened with interest for the past few weeks to the
issues (some expected, some. odd) that come across in the museum field.
Obviously there isn't a text that can cover every eventuality, but tell me,
is there a book that can help me in my studies?

 

            Here's the situation.  I'm a History student at Guilford College
in North Carolina, and while the college does not have a museum studies
program, I do have an impending internship at a local museum.  I'm pursuing
this internship because:  

1)  I've always loved museums and the wealth of knowledge within 

2)  I want to see if the museum field is truly where I wish to point my life

3)  If I do continue down this line will I pursue curatorial services or
educational services (the internship will give me a taste of both).

4)  Museum workers and historians seem to live longer (along with
librarians), therefore I wish to increase my odds of living longer.  (Kind
of tongue in cheek, but not completely)

 

            The problem I have is my college sponsor wishes for me to have a
book to go along with my experience.  I have no idea where to begin.  

 

Criteria:  Under $100, survey level preferable.

 

Replies can be sent off list.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

            Christopher Reeves
