My museum is planning to buy a new collections software program. Right
now we have SNAP for DOS, but want to upgrade. I have been looking at
PastPerfect, Argus, and a couple of others. I would appreciate any
opinions people have on which programs they like best and why. Thanks.

'Love' Worm Spreading Fast
by Michelle Finley
8:00 a.m. May. 4, 2000 PDT
A new, virulent worm known as the "Love Bug" infested computer networks
throughout the world beginning Wednesday night, shutting down major email
servers, including the Pentagon's, the British Parliament's, and NASA's.
Experts say it might exceed the infamous Melissa worm in both speed and
destructiveness.
Early reports indicating that the "Love Bug" worm is not destructive to
computer data may have been wrong.
The virus, spread through an email visual basic script attachment with the
subject header "ILOVEYOU," began invading U.S. networks overnight Thursday
after being first detected in Europe.

Dear All...
See below for a description of a very...virulent...new email virus. We got
hit with it, which is why I am taking the time to notify such a large list
of people. DO NOT open any emails with "I LOVE YOU" in the subject line (as
tempting as it may be.) The extent of the destructiveness of the virus has
not yet been nailed down, apparently, and fixes require the use of
symantec's anti-virus program (or other major name brand anti-virus
products.) More info at www.symantec.com.

Director, Planning &
Program Development
New York Hall of Science
=========================================================
Techies: Victims of 'Love'
Companies with branch offices in Europe and Asia have been reporting the
arrival of the worm on their networks. There are also reports that Johnson
Space Center in Houston has been hit, along with Jet Propulsion Lab, Philips
Customer Call Centers, and Ticketmaster Citysearch.
"This worm spreads at an amazing speed", said Mikko Hypponen, manager of
anti-virus research at F-Secure Corporation. "We got the first report around
9 a.m. on Thursday from Norway, and by 1 p.m. we had reports from over 20
countries."
Hypponen estimate that total number of infected machines is already in the
tens of thousands.
"We've got it and it killed our Intranet for two hours" said Joe Gleason
from ArtStart, a Manhattan printing production company. "We've got
associates in London, and the 'ILOVEYOU' email literally flooded all
morning. This thing spreads like wildfire. It appears to be way worse than
Melissa was."
Gleason's IT director, Jonathan Antipass, was not as concerned. "We were
getting heavily bombed with this virus, but we've told users not to open the
emails. It doesn't do anything unless you tale a peek at it, which some
people oddly seem compelled to do," he said.
Antipass says that the worm is passing through corporate firewalls because
most are not set up to reject attachments with a .txt.vbs extension.
He also notes that the worm seems to be deleting JPEG graphic files and
replacing them with copies of the .VBS virus file.
Antipass says he's isolated the virus on a non-connected machine and is now
watching to see what sites it's trying to connect with so he can block those
sites from ArtStart's network. He believes that is an essential next step
for any company that has been infected.
Chicago attorney Melvin Golden also says his network was infected, to the
point where partners who have extensive dealings with European clients have
had their computers removed from the network.
"We are now watching the emails come in at a rate of about 10 an hour. We
thought it was strange that so many of our European clients suddenly decided
they loved us," he said.
The virus is believed to have originated in the Philippines, where it was
called "the Manila Killer." It arrives in an email with a subject line that
reads 'ILOVEYOU.' The email contains a one-line message reading, "kindly
check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me" and an attachment titled
LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.VBS.
Once the attachment is opened the virus spawns copies of itself to everyone
in the victim's Microsoft Outlook email address book. It also infects VBS
files on the recipient's drives as well as overwriting JPEG and local HTML
files with its own code and searches for mIRC chat files. If found, the
virus inserts a custom script in it to infect other mIRC users, and then
sends itself to every contact in the infected computer's address book.
LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU will also try to download an BUGFIX.EXE file from four
Internet sites, although what the downloaded file will then do was not
immediately known.
The virus, officially called "vbs.loveletter.a" by virus company Symantec,
doesn't seem to destroy any data, but it clogs up networks with thousands of
copies of the replicated message.
European computer systems were hit hard by the virus, which shut down
networks at Britain's Parliament and the London House of Commons for several
hours. Dow Jones reported that the worm has also affected networks in Hong
Kong and Singapore, hitting investment banks and public relations firms
particularly hard.
Symantec has already released an update to its antiviral software
application, but warns computer users that the best action is simply not to
open any "ILOVEYOU" messages.
The confusion over whether the worm does or doesn't destroy data seems to be
due to the fact that the worm modifies Internet Explorer's start page to
point to a web page that then downloads a binary called WIN-BUGSFIX.exe. The
worm randomly selects between four different URLs which may cause it to
react in different ways, depending on what version of the BUGSFIX it
downloads.
I've not been able to obtain copy of the binary to figure out what it does,"
said Elias Levy at SecurityFocus.com (http://www.securityfocus.com) but he
noted that the worm's ability to download means that it has dynamic
components that may change its behavior any time the binary is changed and a
new one downloaded.

I know that cedar is used to keep away insects. It does
this by off-gassing (also creating that lovely smell).
The gas is so strong very close to the surface that it will
actually suffocate insects if they stay on it. However, I
don't know of any studies into whether this substance has
adverse effects on fabric.
All texts will tell you however, that you shouldn't store
fabrics with unfinished wood due to the lignin/acid content
of the wood.

According to what I've read, the smell of cedar only works on very young
protein-loving larva. Older larva and mature adults shrug it off and eat
your textiles. Cedar is extremely ineffective at insect control.
What it does to textiles is vile: embrittlement, staining, etc. Don't do
it. Especially don't do it to fabrics that are cellulose based (cotton,
linen, etc.) What little benefit it gives goes only to protein-based
fabrics (wool, etc.)

It makes me physically ill to smell it so I have a natural bias.

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
For Immediate Release:
May 2, 2000
Reno County Museum Announces Development of
Underground Museum Project
The Reno County Museum, Located in Hutchinson, Kansas, is pleased
to announce that it has signed a lease agreement with Underground Vaults &
Storage to provide space in the salt mine below Hutchinson for the
development of an Underground Museum dedicated to telling the story of salt
in the United States. The development of such a museum would be unique,
and the only one of its kind in the United States.
The agreement between the Reno County Historical Society and
Underground Vaults & Storage (UVS) represents a unique and dynamic
partnership between the business community and the not-for-profit sector.
The respective entities will share the cost of constructing the shaft and
an above ground building which will be used by the museum as a staging area
for visitors to the underground museum and by UVS as a warehouse. The
agreement requires the museum to raise $2.5 million (the museums's share of
construction expenses) prior to December 31, 2002 in order to go forward
with the project. In the event the Museum raises the initial cash,
construction of the new shaft could begin as early as March 2003 with an
anticipated opening date for the Museum in September of 2004.
The agreement marks the first step in what has been a twenty-five
year drive by Hutchinson residents to establish tours of the salt mine.
The mine was first opened in 1923 by the Carey Salt Company and is now
operated by the Hutchinson Salt Company. For more than 50 years, salt mine
tours were available to students, groups, and others wishing to tour the
mine. That practice basically ended in 1975 because of new safety
regulations.
Underground Vaults & Storage was created by a group of businessmen
in 1959 for the purpose of storing records and materials below ground. UVS
has clients all over the country including movie studios, local
governments, and private business
Through a partnership agreement between Hutchinson Salt and UVS,
the companies share an elevator that takes records to the mine as well as
lifting tons of salt above ground each day. Use of the present elevator is
fairly restricted due the needs of both companies.
Difficulties in access, safety needs and security issues stifled
development of the subterranean environs for tourism for many years. These
issues were partially overcome by the agreement to construct a new
elevator. The location of the new elevator, and the proposed museum
location, eliminates access to area being mined and secure areas utilized
by UVS.
"This project took a lot of people working together to find a way
to make it happen," commented Jay Smith, Executive Director of the Reno
County Museum. "What makes this project so unique and exciting is that we
have taken the very popular concept of a salt mine tour a step further
with the potential development of a world class museum located within a
mine. People will still be able to walk through the mined areas, but they
will also be able to see how salt is mined, produced, and marketed. It is
very important to remember that the mining process is not the only method
used to extract salt. The evaporation process is more prevalent, and the
solar process is common as well. Thus, the Underground Museum will address
the industry as a whole. What makes this unique is that people will be
able to see first hand how the processes work in the midst of the great
salt deposit itself. We will demonstrate the importance of salt, not just
in our daily lives, but historically as well. Salt is an essential element
in life, and thus its story pre-dates written history. Salt has been used
as a medium of exchange and as a way to value life, hence the expression,
'worth his salt," said Smith.
There are other salt museums in mines, but those are located
overseas near Cracow, Poland, and Salzburg, Austria. The (Polish) Salt
Mine Museum at Wieliezcka is a destination site for thousands of tourists
each year. Other salt museums exist in the United States, but are not
located in a salt mine.
Museum officials do not yet have a final cost estimate for the
project. "Because of the negotiation process and out of respect for our
partners, we have not been able to hire consultant until we were certain
that an agreement between the Museum and UVS would be reached. The Museum
recently hired ESA Design of Abilene, Kansas to produce a concept design
and to establish costs for the creation of the museum. Those figures
should be available prior to October of this year," commented Smith.
Museum and UVS officials stressed that no mine tours are presently
available. Questions about the project should be addressed to Jay Smith at
the Reno County Museum.
"With support from the local community, individuals and businesses
across the country, and foundations, we can develop this unique attraction.
We look forward to the challenge," said Smith.

Subject: Academic internship guidelines
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Our requirements for an undergraduate internship are:
1. the internship is supervised by a professional person at the site and
by a full-time faculty member in the department.
2. the student spends 10-12 hours a week on the internship (this can
include research or work time away from the internship site).
3. the work is primarily professional rather than clerical, with the
understanding that some routine work is part of everyone's job.
4. the student has some kind of project which he or she works on through
the semester in addition to assisting with day-to-day activities.
5. the student keeps a journal which is not only a record of activities
of the internship, but also reflections on them, on the institution, on
the larger context for the work, on readings done etc. This provides a
record and is evidence of and a place for academic learning.
Evaluation of the internship is done jointly by the supervisor at the site
and the faculty advisor, based on conversations with the student, the journal
(usually read only by the faculty member), and any evidence of the student's
project, whether in the form of catalogue entries, data collected, a small
exhibition etc.

I have been using PastPerect for the past two years and really love it.
However, we only use it for objects, photographs, some books, and
membership. The archives portion is not compatible with our existing
system. I have also found the customer service to excellent. The program
itself is tedious but once you learn it, date entry goes easily. I am
willing to answer specific questions on or off the list.

It's all over my company (for profit). Keeps getting
sent and resent regularly. There is virus protection
on the system to capture the attachment, but you still
keep getting the note. I've caught and deleted about
15 copies of it this morning. I'm not really on many
distribution lists here to speak of. But, it gets
into somebody's email, finds the distribution, and
boo-yah, it bounces.
It's like a bad case of gas. Really foul!
According to CNN, it was first seen in Hong Kong, has
affected Congress and the British Parliament, and is
worldwide.
Hope they catch the bugger that launched this one.
This morning, trying to process our real time
commercial trades (with explicit time constraints), we
had a heck of a time because the server was clogged
with all the commotion this thing caused.

The New England Museum Association does a salary survey every few years.
There's info on how to get it on their website
(http://www.nemanet.org/about.html). They also have a job newsletter
that you might want to subscribe to.
It's been more than a decade since I lived in New England. At that time,
museum salaries were generally significantly less than teacher salaries.
I don't know what it is like now.

The "love bug" virus knocked out systems at Mitel last night and at least
one Canadian federal agency. Be advised that Norton Antivirus does NOT, at
this time, detect it and McAffee probably doesn't either. The worm
propagates by sending messages to everyone on your personal address list. I
have received two copies so far from unsuspecting sources.
The only protection is not to open the .exe file with "loveletter" in the
title.

RE: self-contained mobile exhibitions 5/4/00
Here at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County we have two semi-tractor/trailers that travel to schools as outreach programs. The students come on board and participate in hands-on discovery activities in an exhibit type space. The two themes are Archaeology (the interior is a box canyon where they excavate artifacts) and Marine Biology (the interior in the inside of a submersible that takes them on a dive beneath the ocean. We have been operating these programs for 9 years and currently in the process of developing our third mobile program.
Feel free to contact me for additional information.

Dear List,
In helping a local volunteer based Transport museum prepare a 'registration of interest' in taking
on the conservation of a collection of vehicles and machinery left in an estate to the National
Trust of Australia (NSW) (an organisation more oriented to buildings and collections that usually
pertain to them) it will be necessary to understand and refer to the conservation and management of
these sorts of items. I have looked at the MuseumNetwork http://www.museumnetwork.com/ referred to
by Diana Decker (Railway Museums) but have not been able to find a site that gives detailed
information. Could anyone on the list refer me to a site or museum where I may be able to get this
sort of information?

GLOBAL MUSEUM
http://www.globalmuseum.org
Welcome to another edition of your award-winning & FREE, international
ezine. This weeks international news stories include:
** Legionnaire's Outbreak Grows in Australia **
All the confirmed cases have been linked to an air conditioning system in
Melbourne's new aquarium and officials say the thousands of people who
visited the centre in mid-April could be at risk from the deadly flu-like
disease
** Iraq Reopens National Museum After 10-Year Break **
Iraq reopened its national museum on Saturday, displaying some of its
world-renowned archaeological treasures in public for the first time since
the Gulf War.
** Earliest evidence of art found **
Archaeologists in Zambia have uncovered evidence that early humans used
paint for aesthetic purposes far earlier than previously thought
** A Viking Chapter in American History **
The Vikings, when they discovered the New World, were probably less aware of
what they'd found than was Christopher Columbus
** China pays $7.3m to buy back relics **
China-backed entities paid a total of HK$33 million (S$7.3 million) to
recover two looted national treasures
** Britain shines in the art of diplomacy **
Usually, new government buildings forage for their furnishings and
decoration after the builders have left. Art is an afterthought. But in
Moscow the British government specially commissioned furniture, textiles and
works of art by British artists while the building was still under
construction
** Onwards and upwards **
Anyone looking for grandiose gestures at the remodelled National Portrait
Gallery, where Jeremy Dixon and Edward Jones's new Ondaatje Wing is opened
by the Queen tomorrow, will be disappointed
** China's Foremost Ordeal Artist Emerges in America **
Zhang Huan has always wanted to do large-scale pieces, but in China he had
trouble getting people to take their clothes off
** On a mission to bring Flinders back to Australian shores **
The State Library of New South Wales is seeking rare items from around the
world for a national touring exhibition marking the bicentenary of Matthew
Flinders' voyage around Australia
** Art's biter bit in the Big Apple **
New York's notoriously avant-garde Whitney Biennial show has been making
waves for 70 years. The 2000 biennial is no different
** Anyone can respect the past, but managing it is not so easy **
Memento mori: Glasgow's museums and galleries, such as the Kelvingrove, are
attracting some lottery funding but still have a long way to go to recover
after years of decline
** Seattle's `Toe Truck' Has Suitors **
A history museum wants it. An online auction house beckons. A candymaker
even dreams of its image in white chocolate
** Brush paintings by North Korean child featured in Seoul exhibition **
Oh Eun-byol, 20, the featured artist, was hailed in North Korea and
throughout the world as a child prodigy when she started producing
critically acclaimed artworks at age 2
** Smithsonian Collects Net Stuff **
The Smithsonian Institution is collecting examples of inventive and useful
achievements in the information technology field to capture "a snapshot of a
global revolution-in-progress."
** The nutty 19th-century professors **
In the 19th century the dons of Oxford and Cambridge emerged as a distinct
social class, with their own peculiar and privileged way of life, mysterious
to the outside world

If your town in like mine, the "love bug" virus was splashed all over today's front page. I have used virus protection software for years and recently installed a firewall, both good things to do, but they do not provide complete protection against new virii.
My son, who is Director, Solutions Architecture for Globix International, based in NYC, one of the leading firms in the Internet business, has been telling me for years that the best protection is simply not to open ANY attachment that is an .exe file. I now follow his advice. Yes, you miss some cute and harmless little programs that way, but, given the rapid proliferation of virii, I conclude that it is better to be safe than sorry.

England is still coming out of a depression/recession in many sectors -
dispite the bull market.
First of all - salaries. Most museum educators - docents, museum teachers,
guides, interpreters - whatever the title - are volunteer or wage, part-time
folks. Many are capped at 1,000 hrs a year. Benefits like health insurance
therefore are not paid.
You will find all manner of work combinations - seasonal hourly, over 1,000
hour hourly, paid by "piece" or "project", ten month salary, full time year
round salary and a rainbow of benefits combinations.
A lot depends on the local economy and the competition for workers suited for
the museum positions. The local ice cream store, in some locations, can pay
more per hour with benefits than museums can or do. The trick is - there's
often a lot of turn over and folks moving between stores. And, is it really
something the person who would be a good museum educator wants to do with
their talents for a long time?
Some educators have a couple of jobs. One makes it possible to take the
museum job.
Teachers often have unions. Most museums do not. The non or not-for profit
world is still a good bit different from public or private schools.
There's a very tough balancing act between doing what you love and making a
living.
Good luck,
K. Boardman

Hand to Hand
Fall 2000
Hand to Hand is a quarterly of the Association of Youth Museums
The Funny That Makes You Think
Humor in Children’s Museums
“[Three] is the age when a child’s imagination begins to take fire. ...With
all this bubbling imagination, two new attributes appear. A sense of humor is
likely to surface, and a child’s ability to show empathy for others will
become apparent. ...These two traits are important as I assess children this
age for flexibility in their own personality and for evidence of a good
self-image. ...The richest source of humor, empathy, and compassion is the
child’s imagination and all of the rich experiences that her fantasies
provide her.” --T. Barry Brazleton, MD, Touchpoints of Development.
With Jeanne Vergeront as guest editor, the fall issue of Hand to Hand will
explore the uses of humor with children in museums. How can humor be used as
a tool for learning? Laughter can be an indicator of “I got it!”, a sudden
and joyous opening of the door to understanding. What are the ways in which a
“climate of gentle humor” can energize a museum? Sharpen an exhibit? How does
sharing a laugh strengthen bonds among families and all museum visitors? How
is humor used in exhibit design, signage, or architecture? Is humor
universal? Are there cultural, regional or international differences in humor
perception? And finally, in hopes of not burying all the humor under heaps of
analysis, what are some of the great funny moments that happen with children
in museums?
We look forward to hearing from anyone with stories to share or interested in
participating in the assembly of this issue.

some simply "forget". I have to download mail
directly in my regular email, and such large files are
bothersome to begin with. I wind up sending them

The problem with the current virus, however, is that
it's not in an .exe file; it was done in Visual Basic
and has a .vbs (vacation Bible school, LOL) appendage.
What a pain this has been.

Hello Listers,
This month I will be heading to Southeast Asia to research museums in the
region. I have an academic interest in colonial and post-colonial
representations of native populations in museum settings, and the role of
the museum in creating national identity (as well, of course, as a love for
museums in general). I have already made contact with museum professionals
in a few of the following countries, but would welcome any suggestions for
"must-see" collections/exhibitions either for research or pleasure. I will
be visiting Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia in a span of
approx. 2.5 months. Thank you in advance for your input!

Please be aware that the so called 'love bug' virus has been cloned, one
subject heading suggests that you have been billed for a Mothers Day
present. The virus is contained in the 'invoice' which is the attachment.
There are about three or four other versions floating around as well.
However, it is the Mothers day one that is catching people here in Australia
as people are naturally angry at being billed for something they didn't
order and open the 'invoice' to see what they have beeen billed for. Just
remember though, there are over 350 new virus' each month. So as Harry
suggests, don't open any .exe or .vbs files!! or have a don't open any
attachments policy as with Indigo.

Subject: Re: Museums in Southeast Asia
You might want to make you way down to Singapore for a short while when in
Malaysia. There are the Singapore History Museum and the Asian Civilisation
Museum in the city. The majority of the population of Singapore can trace
their roots to an immigrant past, but most of the younger generation
consider themselves to be 'native' to the place now, having been born and
brought up on the island country. The term 'native' has become a rather
slippery term.
I do not have the full list of contacts of people in the museums with me
now, as I am studying for my MA in Easel Paintings Conservation in
Newcastle, UK. But you might want to check their web-site www.nhb.gov.sg
for possible contacts if you're interested in visiting. If you need help in
obtaining more information on the museums, you can contact me off-list.

I was interested in peoples experiences in "salary administration" and
specifically giving raises. I am well aware of the business approach to cost
of living, and merit pay increases. The prevailing business approach is to
tie increases to performance and accomplishing specific goals. However in an
environment where the field is paid so poorly how does this work? It would
appear to suggest that individuals are paid so poorly because they aren't
performing at a certain level, and I certainly do not believe this to be the
case.
So, to make a long story short. It would appear to me that if a company pays
competitive salaries (and not just within museums, because they all pay
poorly, i.e., the 1/3 what a school teacher is paid) it can encourage better
performance by offering a "bonus" for accomplishment. However in an
environment where almost everyone is well under paid, this just does not make
sense, and I would expect this approach to be a disincentive.
