Synopsis

Based on extensive research and decades of experience, museum analyst and planner John W. Jacobsen provides both the theoretical underpinnings and the operational pragmatics of measuring any museum's intentional impact and performance by using 1,025 indicators drawn from 51 expert sources. Measuring Museum Impact and Performance: Theory and Practice provides museum professionals internationally with a clear, very open process that will improve their museum's value and performance by selecting indicators that monitor whether they are realizing their desired public, private, personal and institutional values. The book is not prescriptive, but liberating, as the framework recognizes that each museum needs to decide on its own purposes and priorities.

John W. Jacobsen led museum analysis and planning for White Oak Associates, Inc. for over forty years and over a hundred museums through hundreds of commissions. Projects include eighteen museums representing over a billion dollars of actual and anticipated investment in new and expanding museums internationally. In the Eighties, he was associate director of the Museum of Science in Boston. In 1988, the Museum served 2.2 million visitors, an unsurpassed record. White Oak integrated operating economics with creative concepts in its plans. Mr. Jacobsen's BA and MFA are from Yale University. Long committed to the museum field, Jacobsen is the founder of the Museum Film Network ('85), the Planetarium Show Network ('88), the Ocean Film Network ('92), AAM's Professional Committee on Green Museums (PIC Green '08) and of the Digital Immersive Giant Screen Specifications (DIGSS 1.0 '11). With Ms. Jeanie Stahl, Mr. Jacobsen formed the White Oak Institute in 2007, a non-profit dedicated to research-based museum innovation, with completed awards and contracts with the NSF, the IMLS, the AAM and the ACM to develop field-wide standards and data collection fields. Mr. Jacobsen's extensive writings and presentations on museum topics have appeared in Curator, Museum Management and Curatorship, Informal Learning Review and at AAM, ASTC, ACM and other conferences.
