pp. 279. Signed and inscribed by the author on title page, previous owner’s name on corner of same page. “This refreshingly candid approach to controversial changes in a major cultural organization speaks to the vital need for a shift in thinking as museums enter the 21st century. Robert Janes is a leading voice in the changes taking place in Canada’s cultural institutions. In this case study, he candidly discusses layoffs, union/management relations, and the urgency of sustainability. Contributions from Glenbow staff highlight the human side of change, and essays by Canadian and international museum directors present thoughtful perspectives. This is a work in progress, a detailed and useful glimpse into how one museum is grappling with the issues of change and adaptation.”
