The Museum Loan Network (MLN) has recently published "Museum as Catalyst for
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Beginning a Conversation," the proceedings
of a
series of convenings hosted by the MLN in 2000-2001. These meetings, which
gathered innovative leaders from different disciplines, explored a number of
interrelated issues, challenges, and opportunities affecting collaboration and
today's museums. It is the MLN's  hope that the conversations reflected in
"Museum as Catalyst..." will further the discourse on the role of
collaboration
and inspire institutions and individuals to continue to explore new ways of
working in their own communities.


Information and downloads for "Museum as Catalyst..." are available on the MLN
website http://loanet.mit.edu/cswn/ci_mus_as_cat.html. We welcome your
thoughts
and comments on this publication.

The 64 page paperback publication can also be obtained free of charge by
