One way that younger members might be attracted to ICOM is for our museum studies educational places (schools, associations, institutes) to emphasize the work of ICOM and its many committees and affiliated groups. I'm afraid my experience is that such is often not the case, especially in North America. I might suggest that members active in ICOM earnestly seek out professors of such programs or courses and offer to talk about ICOM work. For a good list of such programs, see Patrick Boylan's ICTOP page http://www.city.ac.uk/ictop/ Thanks, Lynne Teather, Museum Studies Program, University of Toronto. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Change ICOM-L subscription options and search the archives at: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/icom-l.html
