Here is a web site that will give you some tips.  Most of the resources mentioned are print though some are on-line:

Your state association may have a lending library as well.

Hello,
 
Does anyone know if there is a good online resource/reference on "how to" start a new museum -- something like a set of standards or "best of practice" when creating a new museum in the US?
 
Thanks,
