ICOM members are making little effort to inform even their own colleagues about the organisation. Yet ICOM is a fantastic idea for museum professionals. In my experience the various sub-committees are doing thier best to keep their members informed, but the idea is to get the members in the first place. I agree with Lynne Teather.
