>PURPOSE & HISTORY:

>MUSEUM-ED is an open, unmoderated discussion list which serves as a forum
>for
>museum educators. It was created in response to an EDCOM luncheon at AAM in
>Philadelphia (1995). At that luncheon, museum educators expressed a need to
>create a network for the easy exchange of information. With that goal in
>mind
>the list was created by Kris Wetterlund and Larisa Somsel with the help of
>the Minneapolis Telecommunications Network.
>
>Topics for discussion will most likely be wide-ranging. We hope that
>MUSEUM-ED will provide participants with opportunities to ask questions, to
>exchange ideas, to explore current issues, to share experiences, to reflect
>on the process, and to inspire new directions in museum education. The
>exchange of information is the key here, so if you feel it is important to
>the museum education community, go ahead and discuss it!

>SENDING MESSAGES:
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>-------
>To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just
>send mail to [log in to unmask] This is called "sending mail to the list,"
>because you send mail to a single address and LISTPROC makes copies for all
>the people who have subscribed. This address ([log in to unmask]) is also
>called the "list address."
>
>You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be
>distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be
>sent
>to the "LISTPROC address", [log in to unmask] It is very important to
>understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not
>complicated. The LISTPROC address is like a FAX number, and the list
>address
>is like a normal phone line. If you make your FAX call someone's regular
>phone number by mistake, it will be an unpleasant experience for him but
>you
>will probably be excused the first time. If you do it regularly, however,
>he
>will probably get upset and send you a nasty complaint. It is the same with
>mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or
>thousands
>of people at the same time, so a lot more people get annoyed if you use the
>wrong number.
