Hello all,

I am looking for articles or reference material which details the
process of selecting (traveling) Special Exhibitions. Specifically, I am
interested in who comprises the "review committee" and how they go
about evaluating an exhibition before deciding to host it.  What sorts of
feasibility assessments and content review are critical to the process?

Should the exhibit review & selection process be performed by a
team?  How should we handle suggestions and recommendations
(on which exhibits to host) from volunteers, fellow staff, and the
Board?

Of course, I'd be interested in any personal experiences, policies or
techniques that other institutions have employed with success if
anyone has any tales to tell.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

William Bevil
