Working on a museum education research or evaluation project you would
like to share with the broader community?

I am now compiling a list of ongoing museum education-related research
and evaluation projects for the upcoming September 2008 issue of MUSEUM
EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM). I welcome listings by museum staff and
volunteers, consultants, faculty, and students at all levels of study.  

If you wish to share your research or evaluation with others around the
world, please send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] that includes:
- name of project
- research or evaluation question(s)
- how the data will be presented
- principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s)
- site(s) where research is being conducted
- time span
- contact information
- key words/labels to describe the project 

All listings are free of charge and displayed in their language of
origin. Deadline for the September issue is Friday September 12, 2008.

FYI, the following research projects were listed in MEM, August '08:
- Does size matter? The values embodied in large technology heritage
(Australia)
- Developing an Interpretive Plan for Port Dalhousie Inner Range
Lighthouse (Canada)

UPDATES on research listed in earlier issues of MEM:

A complimentary copy of this Museum Education Monitor, August 2008 is

past research listings at the MEM Blog http://forum.mccastle.com/ . 

For students in museum-related programs and for the unwaged, free one
year introductory MEM subscriptions are available. Contact me at

(Please excuse cross-postings. I try to extend the call as widely as
possible. Inevitably many of us are subscribed to several electronic
discussion lists related to museum education. For those who are, your
patience is appreciated. CC.}
