          COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN MUSEUMS"
                      November 17-18, 1994

   This seminar explores the impact of new technology on
museums.  Speakers will address advances in computer hardware and software,
the process of planning, and the use
of computers in specific aspects of museum operations and
programs--interpretation, collections management,

knowledge of computers is useful, this program is non-
technical in approach.
