Dilevko, J. & Gottlieb, L. (2004). The evolution of library and museum partnerships: Historical antecedents, contemporary manifestations and future directions. Westport, CT: Libraries Unlimited.
This book presents a thorough analysis of the nature of library-museum partnerships and the historical contributions that these alliances have made. Authors Dilevko and Gottlieb pose the argument that the most potentially productive next phase in the advancement of the library and museum collaborations is the library-museum hybrid within a joint-use facility. Housing a library and museum dedicated to a particular subject under one roof could provide a community with greater opportunities for information literacy and life-long learning. The authors make their case through a report on landmark library-museum partnerships, a synopsis of the history of library-museum collaborations and a concluding blueprint of how the 21st century library-museum could thrive. The charts that list the grant figures for successful library-museum projects are worth examination. Dilevko and Gottlieb have published extensively in the field of library and information science and they demonstrate a credible proposal for the next chapter in the story of library and museum productions.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) was established when the Museum and Library Services Act was passed by Congress in 1996. Library-museum partnerships have been an IMLS priority since the organization's inception. The primary mission of the IMLS is to empower libraries and museums with the resources to connect people to information and ideas. Helping to underwrite the alliance between libraries and museums is an integral part of that mission. Among the IMLS' directives to stimulate library-museum partnerships is the International Strategic Partnership Initiative. Through this program, American libraries and museums are encouraged to share with and learn from others engaged in library and museum work around the globe. A site search reveals several archived reports about library-museum collaborations.
