Amy -

You could be talking about the situation at my institution (except the part
about paying someome to be a security guard and then getting them to do
specialized museum work - nice scam that is) We are in abit of an out of the
way location and have trouble with community awareness - whatever ideas you
gete can you pass them along to me please.
