I am researching the viability of holding a series of mini-sessions in the Exhibit Hall of the New England Museum Association (NEMA) annual conference this fall as part of an "Ask A Conservator" booth.  I would like to request input from the collective wisdom of the list on suggested topics, which should be able to be discussed in 15-30 minutes.  What would YOU like to hear about?  Please feel free to comment (off-list is best) even if you are not attending the conference.  I have listed several topics below to get you thinking, so please vote for these or suggest others in which you may have a particular interest.  Thanks for your help!

* Mold & Mildew
* Environmental Monitoring
* Collections Care Grant Writing
* Lights & Lighting Control
* Low-Tech Environmental Control
* Exhibit Cases - Pluses and Minuses
