About a month ago, I sent out the following museum web site survey.  I've
gotten a few answers, but in hopes of receiving more, I'm sending it out
again.

*Please send your responses to me off-list.*  I will continue to compile
responses, and will eventually post them as an overall general report (i.e. I
won't be giving out specifics on each person or institution who responded,
for sake of confidentiality).  If you know of anyone else who might be
helpful with my research, I'd love to get their name/phone/fax/e-mail ... or
if you're feeling extremely helpful, e-mailing this survey to them directly
would be great.

If you have any questions, please e-mail or phone me.  Thanks to those who've
already responded, and thanks in advance to those who haven't, but want to!
