Lucidea Press Releases New Digital Projects Title for Museum Professionals

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Lucidea has announced that museum expert Rachael Cristine Woody’s new book, Prepare for Takeoff: Get Your Museum Digital Project Off the Ground, is now available. The latest publication from Lucidea Press offers pragmatic advice from Ms. Woody, a seasoned museum expert, consultant and author, regular blogger, and popular webinar presenter. 

Museum digital projects require personnel who are subject-matter experts, technologists, and project managers.

Chapters include:

• Assessing Online Collections to Inform Future Work
• Who Funds Museum Projects?

She specializes in museum collections management systems, digitization technology, digital project management, and digital usership. Ms. Woody is a popular guest author for Lucidea’s Think Clearly Blog, and her previous books for Lucidea Press include Survivor’s Guide to Museum Grant Writing, How to Select, Buy, and Use a Museum CMS, and Museum Digital Projects and You.
