Libraries now host makerspaces and literary workshops, archives fight climate change and support indigenous people, and museums are used as instruments for economic growth and urban planning. At first glance, the described changes may appear as a divergent development, where the LAMs are growing apart. However, this book demonstrates that the present transformation of LAMs is primarily a convergent development. Libraries, Archives, and Museums in Transition will be essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to get on top of the LAM literature or the particularities of Scandinavian LAMs. Cover -- Half Title -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- List of figures and tables -- List of contributors -- Preface -- 1 Introduction: libraries, archives, and museums in transition -- PART I: Libraries, Archives, and Museums in Scandinavia: History and Policy -- 2 Library history of the Scandinavian countries -- 3 The history of archives in Scandinavia -- 4 A concise history of museums in Scandinavia -- 5 LAMs as objects of knowledge and cultural policy: developing synergies -- PART II: LAMs and Collections -- 6 Do collections still constitute libraries, archives, and museums? -- 7 Curating collections in LAMs -- 8 Knowledge organization in LAMs -- PART III: Challenges for LAMs in the 21st Century -- 9 The impact of digitalization on LAMs -- 10 Digital communication in LAMs -- 11 Learning, literacy, and education in LAMs -- 12 LAMs and the participatory turn -- 13 Contemporary Scandinavian LAMs and legitimacy -- 14 LAMs and community: deepening connections -- 15 LAMs as activist ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
