![]() ![]() When I wrote my first book, The Participatory Museum, I released it concurrently as a paperback and free online. Over the years, the more I gave away, the more people wanted to pay me to consult, speak, and write. Ever since I started this blog in 2006, I've seen the power of giving away ideas. But if you can't afford it, or you just want one section, I want you to have access to it. If you want to buy a book, by all means, do. I love hearing about staff, board, and student discussions prompted by the book, and I want to make it easy for you to have them. Sharing a link is often a lot easier than lending someone a book. It makes it easier for people to share and spread the ideas in the book. ![]() Why make the book available for free under a Creative Commons license? I do it for three reasons: Or how Felton Thomas fought the library union to make the Cleveland Public Library matter more. Or how Food What?! unlocks relevance for disinterested teenagers. Take five minutes and learn how the Science Museum in London created better experiences for deaf visitors. The chapters are short stories, and most can stand alone. You can also post comments on any chapter, adding your reactions and questions to the published content. You can still buy The Art of Relevance as a paperback, ebook, or audiobook-but you can also read any chapter, any time, online. ![]() I hope you'll enjoy this resource and share it widely (with attribution). It's finally here! You can now read all the chapters in The Art of Relevance for free online. ![]()
