I highly recommend Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Museums: A Handbook for Volunteer Management. This publication is rich with tools for the museum professional. Kristy Van Hoven and Loni Wellman provide in-depth information on improving volunteer interviews, training, and performance reviews. They also may be the first to discuss the role of social media in volunteer recruitment and new volunteer opportunities, such as e-volunteering. -- Marilyn Sklar, curator of education, Daughters of the American Revolution
