I'm forwarding this for your considered group opinion. The CAAH list
posts art and architecture ToCs, I don't know where the monitor gets them
but it looks like from the publishers. The list-owner has informed me
that MUSEUM-L will soon have expanded facilities (like archives) or perhaps
things like ToCs, abstracts and summaries deserve a list of their own.
Since we are such a diverse group that has the common bond of "museums"
I think this is the perfect place to collect information...as long as
we don't flood each other's mailboxes.
 
Meanwhile, I working on a summary of the NYT Questions and will flood your
mailbox with it soon. :-}
 
And, yes, I am a he.

================FORWARDED MESSAGE=================================
 
ToCs--interesting idea--Keith Dewar, who operates the list HERITAGE from
Massey University, has recently asked for volunteers to read in ToCs.  I
offered to do one or two, and sent him by snail the list of 150 journals
and newsletters received at the Center for Historic Preservation (I told
him I could do something basic such as _History News_ [I think many  on
his list would not see it] or something as abstruse as a local
archaeological journal.  I haven't heard anything by either mail (his
line was jammed up while he was away) but at minimum I would think you
would want to know his plans, as they might relate to yours.  His direct
line is [log in to unmask]
 
In addition to ToCs of print there are also ToCs of electronic journals
(Architronic, for instance), and perhaps one of the services that ought
to be contemplated is simply listing the lists on which you can get ToCs
of either print of electronic journals, related to our interests.
 
I didn't send this to the list (to any list) but hope you will do so if
you think it might be useful (or stir up other discussion).
 
Meanwhile I'll look forward to your thoughts on the above.
 
Sincerely yours,
 
John
