Technology and Digital Initiatives: Innovative Approaches for Museums is a wonderful summation of the state of the museum technology sector, circa 2015. It provides a comprehensive overview of a range of projects both big and small, and should prove to be an indispensable resource for museum veterans and newcomers. -- Koven J. Smith, Director of Digital Adaptation, Blanton Museum of Art, The University of Texas at Austin
