We are also thinking along the same lines.  I'd also like to hear what
     others have done.  Right now we lend out casts, models, print
     material, artifacts & specimens to teachers.  We box things up
     according to topic such as minerals, rocks, butterflies, etc.
     Currently this is a free service but things may change.  We'd like to
     offer more.  What are others doing?

Hi.
We are just starting to think about including a Resource Center within our
Museum. We are really in the early stages of development.  I thought I would
cast a net and see what types of resource centers are out there within various
museums. What sort of resources would take to start and maintain a resource
center?  Any thoughts?
