Museums" will be presented at the annual meeting of the Southeastern
Museums Conference in Memphis, October 5-8, 1994.  The session will

context of new and emerging technologies.  The session is moderated

and features speakers Kelly Turner (Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts,
AL), Betty Dunckel Camp (Florida Museum of Natural History), and
