Hi folks,
Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium are hosting the
1999 Visitor Studies Association Conference August 3-7, 1999.

"The Visitor Studies Association is an international network of
professionals committed to understanding and enhancing visitor experiences
in museums, science centers, nature centers, zoos, aquariums, botanical
gardens, historic sites and interpretive facilities.  Through research,
evaluation and dialogue, VSA members explore the ways knowledge and
experiences are shared in informal learning environments."
... and we plan on throwing a heck of a party!

We'd like to post the call for papers and the meeting registration materials
on listserves
- here's what we have so far - any others you think we should add?

ISEN-ASTC
