This edited volume offers a fascinating look at the unique challenges and opportunities facing university museums. The role of the university museum has changed significantly just over the past few decades, and the authors here clearly demonstrate how today's university museums are uniquely positioned to effect positive change in their home institutions, their local communities, and beyond. Throughout the volume, the authors provide useful insights that will help museum professionals improve their understanding of the value, place, and significance of university museums, and help university leaders adapt to the constantly changing socio-economic and political realities facing university museums worldwide.--Paul F. Marty Ph.D., Professor, School of Information, Florida State University
