One quick comment on Mark's assessment of CD-ROM production and
multi-platform issues: With the technology that is available today,
cross-platform development is a non-issue. The explosion of
Internet-related technologies has brought to the market a variety of
platform-independent tools for multimedia development that work equally well
over network and media-based distribution. Best of luck on your project!

Subject: Re: CD-rom exhibition catalogues
the MIA's done four or five CD-ROMs from programs that were developed for
gallery interactive stations (we haven't done CD-ROMs in leiu of catalogs
yet, however); here's the downside:
you'll find no outside distribution for the product.
you're dealing with a PC-mostly audience, but you'll find museums attract an
inordinate number of macintosh users. you're best to make it cross-platform,
which brings up a whole seperate set of difficulities.
a CD-ROM is impossible to flip through in the bookstore. will you be able to
display it while the exhibition's running?
you'll need sell your print run off before new operating systems render your
product obsolete.
be sure you develop the program with the latest versions of quicktime and
whatever else you're using. (ask me how i know that.)
upsides:
apart from the cost of developing it, the unit cost to get them produced is
a fraction the expense of doing a book.
they're very small.
hope this helps,

We are currently considering producing a CD-rom catalogue for an upcoming
exhibition, instead of producing a paperback catalogue. This would be the
first venture of this type for my institution and I am looking for both
positive and negative feedback/experiences, possible pitfalls from my
colleagues who have created catalogues in this media.
Thank you, in advance, for your comments.

Why not consider both types of firms in your search and ask them to propose
a design approach and construction process to meet your goals and budget.
Independent designers sometimes take a more active role in an association or
joint venture with a fabrication firm or as a construction manager
coordinating subcontractors. This approach may be especially helpful when a
tight schedule or unique project requirements suggest both exceptional
design capabilities and a more hands on involvement by the designer in the
fabrication phase.

As a corollary to some of the recent list discussions about identifying an
exhibit design firm, what (if any) are the relative advantages and
disadvantages of selecting a independent designer and a separate exhibit
fabricator, as opposed to going with a firm that can provide both design and
fabrication services in-house? I've heard differing points of view as to
economies of scale or other cost-saving gains that may result from using a
turnkey outfit to provide both services rather than contracting with
separate firms. It's also been suggested that independent design firms may
be more "creative" or "cutting-edge" than in-house design departments, which
may design an exhibit more in terms of their firm's fabricating capability

Hello Everyone,
I've been scouring my e-mails to read any response to Cynthia Inaba's query
regarding computer reservation programs. We are interested in purchasing a
program but lack knowledge of the various options.
Perhaps someone could tell me if any programs come with calendars "built in"
and ready to go, or do all programs need to be customized to function as
reservation systems? It would also be very helpful to hear which program;
FileMaker, FileMaker Pro, Vista etc, anyone recommends or has problems with.

Nina,
Oxalic acid, a relatively mild acid (found in trace amounts in
spinach and rhubarb, etc.), is available at chemical suppliers and
wherever you would find wood strippers/restoration products. (It's
also used to bleach wood.) It is an excellent marble cleaner.

Nina,
As a conservator (and member of AIC) I have some experience with marble
cleaning.
To remove wax, surface dirt and grime from the surface of the marble I would
try either of the following recipes:
1. an emulsion of de-ionized water, mineral spirit and a drop of non-ionic
detergent - it is important that you don't just use 'any' detergent if you
want to prevent damage - applied with cotton wool/swabs, and subsequently
rinsed well with clean de-ionized water;
2. a solution of de-ionized water and citric acid (try 100 ml water & 1 g
citric acid) - adjust the pH to around 7.5 with Ammonium hydroxide - and,
again, rinsed with clean de-ionized water.
If you have problems in finding these supplies, then distilled water and
mineral spirit, either on their own or mixed, may work.
I recommend that you do not use any acid which would etch the surface of the
marble. Also, commercial cleaning agents should be avoided as they would
cause, in the long run, pitting and degradation of the marble, not to
mention faster and worst re-deposition of soil.
After cleaning you may want to apply some microcrystalline wax for
protection.
Please let me know if you need suppliers' names etc.

I don't mean to revive an old argument, but this represents a follow-up which

overturning employers' directives through legal action. Today I spotted a
reference to a 1999 case in the Washington Post:
"In 1999 Carlos Solero and seven other Spanish-speakers--along with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission--filed lawsuits against Watlow Batavia
Inc., a metal-casting and assembly company in Batavia, Ill., for being told
they could not speak or even sing or mumble in Spanish. The group won more
than $190,000."
The context suggests that the case was won on the basis of discrimination,
although it's hard not to see it as literally a free-speech issue as well.
(I don't know if any part of the legal argument was framed in terms of
freedom of speech.) Imagine, being forbidden to "mumble" in Spanish! But
the point is that, whatever the legal issue was, even private employers are
not automatically immune from having their rules contested successfully. The
case was mentioned within an article about Spanish-speaking aides in the
Arlington County, Va., school system objecting to prohibitions by supervisors
against the aides speaking in Spanish to parents of students. If this debate
ends up in court, I personally doubt that discrimination will be the issue,
since the aides were hired specifically for their bilingual ability in the
first place! It seems that the non-Spanish-speaking supervisors are nervous
about not knowing what the aides are saying to the parents.

My experience is that a good fabrication firm has corporate relations with a
number of designers; where it is the fabricator who is approached first by
the client, he/she/it will try to find a designer whose background and
abilities best fit the client's needs (and pocketbook!). Hence, a firm like
Ottawa's ExpoZone International, which does work in a number of countries,
maintains relations with a number of good designers. As well, it uses local
firms to do the installation, aided by one or more of their own people. It
is really quite a good combination, especially if one opts for the use of a
"turnkey" project manager...and no, I am not on an ExpoZone retainer!!! I
have used them in different situations and institutions and have always been
pleased with the results.

Subject: New Traveling Exhibition from the Exploratorium
MEMORY TRAVELING EXHIBITION
From a demonstration of the firing of a single neuron in the brain to
recalling childhood memories to witnessing actual brain dissections, Memory,
a major new traveling exhibition developed by the Exploratorium, is now
available for rental through 2004.
There can be no doubt of the overwhelming importance of memory in our
individual lives. We spend much of our waking lives remembering. Our
ability to perform the simplest tasks relies on remembering what to do and
how to do it. Our very sense of who we are rests largely in remembering
where we've been, whom we've known, what we've done, and how we've felt.
This exhibition explores these ideas and the equally important notion that
memory is constantly changing and reshaping the way we understand our world.
As we continually relive and reshape past experience, we also reshape the
ways in which we perceive and understand ourselves and the world around us.
The exhibition, made possible by the National Science Foundation and the Met
Life Foundation, is reflective of both personal experience and new
breakthroughs in cognitive science. Over thirty-five hands on exhibits,
artworks, images, sounds, and even smells and tastes demonstrate and depict
the fascinating subject of human memory: its biological, psychological and
cultural dimensions.
In the exhibition, you can play Hoop Nightmares, a wacky basketball game that
temporarily alters your body's memory of how to throw a ball. In Jukebox
Memories, you can find out which top tunes of the past forty years stir your
memories. Test your memory for smells and tastes, spatial relationships, or
even the way things feel. Find out why your memory can hold on to thousands
of facts, words, pictures, and even complicated arguments and explanations,
yet stumble over a simple name or phone number. Learn why legal experts have
gotten more skeptical about eyewitness testimony, and why many psychologists
question "recovered" memories. By experiencing the powers and limitations of
your own memory within the exhibition, your can begin to understand what
memory is and how it works.
For more information on availability and price, please contact Jackie Venegas

I don't know if there is a term for such a structure, but we use one here at
Shedd Aquarium. The panel shows the marine mammal species we have on
exhibit (belugas, white-sided dolphins, seals), with holes cut out so that
children (and adults) can put their faces in the Northwest Coast scene.
It's bright, colorful, and attracts many visitors and cameras.

Hi Listfellows,
Does anybody know what word is the right one for a kind of artificial
fence, a barrier oftenly present at amusement parks, with a hole for
inserting a face over a painted body (e.g. body-builder at a beach, or a
sofisticated lady, ...)?
Is somebody using anything similar at some museum premises?
TIA! Sincerely -

If your institution is chartered in New York State, it is governed by rules of the Board of Regents regarding deaccession of materials and use of any cash proceeds. If not Regents-chartered, the NY Attorney General enforces applicable state laws, which are not as strict as the Regents rules.
The Regents rule mandates the generally accepted museum practice that cash proceeds from disposal of collections must go back into collections, and under no cases be used for general operating procedures. (See "Rules of the Regents" on our web site, address below. Our sample Collections Management Policy is also on the web site.)
Some other comments:
(1) It sounds like your institution wants to sell collections for operating expenses.
(2) Selling the collection in the gift shop is generally a bad idea.
(3) Just because you haven't gotten around to accessioning an item doesn't mean it's not part of the collection.
(4) Deaccessioning should be based on the institution's Collection Management Policy.
(5) Curators should be consulted on every proposed deaccession.
(6) Deaccessioning should be done with care and consideration.
(7) The Board of Trustees should make the final decision.
(8) Contacting donors in advance of any sale or disposal is actually a good idea.

Dear list colleagues,
IGÇÖm the curator of the model collection in an air and space museum, and have
been asked by our vice president to go through our collection of unbuilt
model kits and select "the ones we donGÇÖt really need" so they can be sold in
the gift shop. Needless to say, this makes me very nervous. I have tried to
explain about the presumption of permanence of the collection, the need to
keep things in the public trust, the ramifications of selling items from the
collections in the gift shop, etc. but to no avail. (I guess I need to
mention that none of the upper management has any background in museum work,
and that this VP is also the development director and is under pressure to
raise money.)
My questions are these: Is it ethical? Is it legal? Have you faced similar
situations? I would appreciate any advice on how I can handle this
professionally, short of leaving the museum. My fear is that after the
unbuilt kits are sold, IGÇÖll be asked to cull the model collection. (Other
collections are being "thinned" as well, sometimes without any consultation
with curators.)
Other facts that may be relevant: Many of the model kits have no provenance,
they were just there when I took over the collection. Very few are formally
accessioned (but thatGÇÖs true of most of the artifacts in our museum!), and
none has any restriction that says we canGÇÖt sell it. Some of the kits are
rare and "collectible," we have duplicates of a few, and they are unlikely to
be assembled or exhibited in the future.
The VP has also suggested that in cases where we know who made the donation,
we can simply call and ask if they mind if we sell it. This fills me with
dread, too. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your help.
Chuck Stout

Hi Mark.
Either in addition to, or instead of, in-house printing, one might consider
a corporate partnership with a local professional photo store that has
digital printing capabilities (e.g. the Kodak kiosk).
Museum staff could negotiate a discounted price from the store, thus making
a small profit when selling to museum clients (this does not address the "on
demand" part of your question).
One could use this, or other negotiations, to build a relationship with the
store, which could lead to support for exhibit photographic materials, or
other support.

Dear eval colleagues and museum listserrves
- Apologies for Cross Postings
If you have examples of outcome-based evaluation in a museum setting, please
send them directly to Tamara Starke (not to me). I'm sure she will be
willing to share the list with us.

Do you have any contacts through your work in
VSA or elsewhere of people who have done outcome-based evaluation in a
museum setting? I'm specifically looking for examples of programs that
have been improved by applying the results of outcome-based evaluation.
Any leads you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Subject: Miniature House
Content-Type: text/plain
Mime-Version: 1.0
Hello,
Does anyone know anything about miniature houses and/or anyone who collects them? We have something called the Arizona Miniature House that was constructed in 1981. It was designed by architect William H. Richardson and built by Peter Westscott, with interiors designed by 10 members of the Arizona North Chapter of ASID. It is 6 1/2 feet square and is in need of some repair, but it is complete with all its furnishings. Apparently the donor tried unsuccessfully to sell it before giving it to our museum. I don't know why anyone here agreed to consider it as a gift, but the signed paperwork is on file, so someone must have thought it was a good idea. We don't have room for it, and it does not fit our mission. We would like to see that it finds a good home, but we're not sure where to start. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have been looking into this and have gotten conflicting opinions as to whether or not this is a good idea. Could some of the subscribers let me know if you have put floor drains in your vaults, and if it has been successful or not. Also if you have not used a drain, why not? Thanks so much for your help.

I have two unrelated questions for the list.
Can anyone share concerns (or lack thereof) regarding use of silicon
adhesives? We are searching for an adhesive to use to secure mounts to
panels in exhibit cases and have been recommended to use silicon.
Also, we're searching for a road map of Atlanta published by the Atlanta
News Agency, circa 1967. I've had great help from various archives in
Georgia, but no one can find this particular map. Any suggestions?

There are lots of good responses from the ethics direction on how to great the suggestion of cleaning out storerooms to fill the gift shop, which brings me to a question -- how do you, as a staff person, convince higher-ups with little investment in the museum world that just because the AAM says so, it's important? Sometimes -- especially if there are insufficient institutioanl policies -- people shrug these recommendations off. Only with a legal cudgel will some people begin paying attention. In other ways, I run into this peoblem at my institution as well -- AAM recommendations aren't as respected (or noticed) by Boards as they are actual staff people with museological training.

I just did some digging on Google.com and found the word "stockade"
associated with this sort of thingy. Found it on a site that listed a slew
of amusement activities, and the stockade term was also used in conjunction
with a "throw balloons at the head" game. As usual, don't quote me on ANY
of this quasi-knowledge.
Golly. Only Tuseday, and I'm already trying to avoid my work. Not a good

"ANCIENT AND MODERN: THE WHITWORTH ART GALLERY"
Tuesday, November 13, 7 pm
New York University Main Building, Room 300 (enter at 32 Waverly Place)
ALISTAIR SMITH, Director of the Whitworth Art Gallery, will enlarge on the
themes of "Pastoral to Postindustrial" through an exploration of the great
range of the Gallery's collections. Founded in 1887 thanks to the bequest
of Sir Joseph Whitworth, "the world's best mechanician," the Whitworth Art
Gallery remained an independent museum until it became associated with the
University of Manchester in 1958. The subsequent conversion of its stately
Edwardian interiors into one of the most humanely modernist art galleries
in the UK was accompanied by new collecting initiatives, so that the
Whitworth is now recognized for its holdings of both modernist and
traditional styles of art, producing an intriguing interface between the
ancient and the modern. Described upon its founding "as a source of
gratification," the Whitworth is dedicated to "the Collection, Exhibition
and Illustration of Fine Art, and the Study of and Instruction in Fine
Arts, by means of Galleries, Libraries, Classes and other methods." Dr.
Smith will assess how far these aims have been developed and achieved.
Organized by the Grey Art Gallery and cosponsored by the Program in Museum
Studies, New York University

PASTORAL TO POSTINDUSTRIAL: BRITISH WORKS ON PAPER
FROM THE WHITWORTH ART GALLERY
November 13, 2001 - January 26, 2002
Drawn from the collection of the Whitworth Art Gallery at the University of
Manchester, Pastoral to Postindustrial presents late-18th- through
20th-century British works on paper, surveying the changing aesthetic and
sociocultural meanings of landscape in England. Major highlights include
watercolors by J.M.W. Turner and his contemporaries, Pre-Raphaelite and
other Victorian images, and works by earlier twentieth-century
practitioners such as Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson, and Graham Sutherland. The
exhibition concludes with conceptually-oriented works by contemporary
British artists such as Damien Hirst and Rachel Whiteread.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The lecture is free of charge. No reservations necessary.

What kind of images are you going to be scanning

It would depend on the type greatly.
Also, I have a question for you. Does Past Perfect
have a scan to entry option or do you have to scan an
image and import the image into the index entry?

Phyllis:
I think the right decision will be based on your particular circumstances.
What kind of fire suppression system do you have?
What is under the vault?
What does your insurance company say?
Is there an alternative for drainage?
Are your materials elevated off the floor?
Are insects and vermin a possible problem?
I can only add that most (but not all) of the vaults I've seen have floor
drains. While we are at it, will you have provision for ventilating the
room in case of fire? (Afterwards, of course.)
The National Fire Protection Ass. code for fur storage vaults was clear in
it's demands for floor drains and ventilation, along with specialized
lighting and fire resistant doors, walls, etc., but the Fur Storage
committee no longer exists.

Subject: Wallpaper Storage
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Greetings. I want to say that I have largely been a lurker for ovr a year
know, but have enjoyed the numerous threads presented on the list and
learned a lot from them. That said, I do have a question. I work at an 1891
historic house and we have very little storage space. This fall, we received
another historic house. It was built during the 1870s(we think) in another
part of the county. We received many pieces of wallpaper from the house, as
well. Layers of wallpaper were pasted onto one another and the house was
left alone for some time after the last owner's death. As a result, much of
the wallpaper is brittle and breaks easily. Most pieces are relatively
small, but there are a few pieces about 2 feet in length. I am curious to
hear your recommendations for storing the wallpaper and for any good
books/literature on this subject. I am aware of the temp/RH requirements.
The curator is also thinking about just keeping samples of the wallpaper.
This would require cutting the wallpaper. Is this accepted practice?
Feel free to reply to me or the list. Thanks in advance for all of your help
and sorry for the long post!

Hello all.
I would like to ask for your input for yet another class assignment. For a museum management course I am examining how museum directors may assist staff in improving time management.
From a director's point of view:
1. What are the top three time wasters you see for your staff?
2. What techniques do you employ to deal with these time wasters?
From a staff member's point of view:
1. What are the top three time wasters in your day?
2. What can your director do to help deal with these time wasters?
Please feel free to reply to me off-list: [log in to unmask]
Thanks in advance,

We typically use 25% of the total cost of the exhibition. Of course,
there are many factors that affect this.

It helps to point out to them that their museum loses credibility in the
museum community. Even a clueless administrator has pride in what s/he's
administrating. They may not *understand* a museum's function, but they
care about the institution--its standing is their standing.

how do you, as a staff person, convince higher-ups with little investment in
the museum world that just because the AAM says so, it's important?
Sometimes -- especially if there are insufficient institutioanl policies --
people shrug these recommendations off. Only with a legal cudgel will some
people begin paying attention.

Chris, I can't cite you any literature on the subject, but I have just
fitted out a couple of 24" x 30" acid free textile storage boxes to store
and transport some 19th century samplers. I made trays of acid-free foam
core with cutouts at each end for lifting them. The spacers between are
made of archival poly foam rod from Gaylord. The foam is about 3/4" in
diameter, and I just hot-glued four inch pieces at intervals around the
bottom edges of the trays. This way they act both as "feet" and as spacers
to allow for stacking the samplers without putting any pressure on them.
They can be lifted into and out of the box without anyone having to handle
them directly. If you think this would be good for your purposes, I'd be
happy to send some photos and a supply list. You can fit six trays in one
box; the bottom one has no feet.

Thank you for raising this important topic.
TTY/TDD phones are the most preferable form of telephone communication for
people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Relay operators are primarily to
facilitate a phone conversation between a deaf and a hearing person. A relay
operator acts as an "interpreter" between the two parties.
Most importantly, you need to refer to your state and federal Americans with
Disabilities Act regulations. Every state has an ADA hotline that can answer
your questions regarding accessibility requirements. You may be required to
keep a TTY number at your museum.

Phyllis,
Military vaults have drains and ventilation. It is important to have check
values to prevent back follow and ventilation to prevent mildew and mold.
Remember if you run a dehumitifer or any other eletrically devices for that
matter don't forget the ozone principle. Electric motors and transformers like
those found in flourencent lights give up small amounts of ozone, in small or
confined spaces, ozone will attack and breakdown certain plastics and rubbers.

The question is whether the phone system he is talking about upgrading is
for use by the public or only by staff.
As of October 1, 2001 federal law mandated the institution of a nationwide
relay system. So, dialing 711 anywhere in the United States will now
connect the caller to a relay operator who will place a voice or TTY call
for the caller.
There are very specific requirements for public phones outlined in the ADA
Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) which can be found at www.access-board.gov
or you can contact your local Disability Business and Technical Assistance
Center(DBTAC) by calling 800-949-4232.
Your state may have passed state codes/laws that are more stringent than the
ADA. It is always safest to comply with which ever law is more stringent
whether state, county, city or federal.
I am unaware of any part of the ADA which requires a place of public
accommodation to have a TTY for incoming calls. You should have staff
trained to accept and place relay calls, and it is certainly a good
marketing tool to have a TTY for ease of use and convenience for deaf and
speech impaired patrons/visitors who would like to contact you.

IMLS Issues Two Digital Library Forum Reports for Comment
Washington, DC - In Spring 2001 IMLS convened a Digital Library Forum to
discuss the implementation and management of networked digital libraries,
including issues of infrastructure, metadata, thesauri and other
vocabularies, and content enrichment. Forum members include representatives
from a range of libraries and museums who have been involved in digital
library initiatives. Many, but not all, have been recipients of IMLS grants.
The Forum discussions led to the development of two reports:
Report of the IMLS Digital Library Forum on the National Science Digital
Library Program," produced jointly with representatives of the National
Science Foundation's Science, Math, Engineering and Technology Education
digital library project, (otherwise known as the National Science Digital
Library, or NSDL program. The report recommends that funding be provided for
previously-completed IMLS-funded digitization projects to take steps to map
metadata elements to the NSDL set, upgrade systems to support the Open
Archives Metadata Harvesting Protocol, and upgrade objects and metadata to
meet appropriate benchmarks. The report contains additional suggestions for
NSF and IMLS and specific recommendations for projects wishing to provide
already-digitized content to the NSDL. See full report at:
http://www.imls.gov/pubs/natscidiglibrary.htm
"A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections," which
identifies core principles and related information resources for the
creation of high-quality digital collections, objects, metadata, and
projects. The Framework is intended as a resource for grant applicants as
well as for IMLS and other funding agencies rather than as a requirement.
See full report at: http://www.imls.gov/pubs/forumframework.htm
IMLS has posted both reports on its Web site (see URL's above) and invites
comments from the professional community interested in the creation,
management and preservation of digital information resources. According to
IMLS Director Dr. Robert S. Martin, "IMLS greatly appreciates the work of
the Digital Library Forum participants. These reports represent a
significant contribution to the digital library field. We believe they will
help IMLS and its constituents work together to identify effective
approaches to the development of high quality digital cultural content for
education and learning, and also help to ensure broad public access to
cultural resources."
IMLS has also developed two new priorities under the Research and
Demonstration category of its 2002 National Leadership Grants for Libraries
( http://www.imls.gov/grants/appl/index.htm#nlgl ) related to the Forum
discussions:
1) Projects to add value to already-digitized collections as a demonstration
of interoperability with the National Science Foundation's National Science
Digital Library Program (eligibility limited to libraries and their partners
with digital collections created with previous IMLS funding).
Interested applicants should be familiar with both Forum reports,
particularly the recommendations for projects in the "Report of the IMLS
Digital Library Forum on the National Science Digital Library Program."
Applicants should follow its recommendations for projects as well as all
application procedures for National Leadership Grants for Libraries.
2) A project for development of a metadata agent to collect and broker
metadata to other service providers in accordance with the Open Archives
Initiative protocol.
Interested applicants should be familiar with both Forum reports and should
contact Martha Crawley at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> for
specific application and deadline information.
Comments on the Digital Library Forum reports should be sent to Stephanie
Clark at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Comments will be most
useful if received by May 1, 2002.

My apologies for the cross postings:
Dear Colleagues -
Has anyone out there used quiet title law to establish ownership of objects
in your collections (successfully or otherwise)?
Quiet title is defined as "a lawsuit to establish a party's title to real
property against anyone and everyone, and thus "quiet" any challenges or
claims to the title. Such a suit usually arises when there is some question
about clear title, there exists some recorded problem (such as an old lease
or failure to clear title after payment of a mortgage), an error in
description which casts doubt on the amount of property owned, or an
easement used for years without a recorded description. An action for quiet
title requires description of the property to be "quieted," naming as
defendants anyone who might have an interest (including descendants-known or
unknown- of prior owners), and the factual and legal basis for the claim of
title. Notice must be given to all potentially interested parties, including
known and unknown, by publication. If the court is convinced title is in the
plaintiff (the plaintiff owns the title), a quiet title judgment will be
granted which can be recorded and thus provide legal "good title." Quiet
title actions are a common example of "friendly" lawsuits in which often
there is no opposition."
Any comment would be appreciated, either on or off the list.
Thanks in Advance -
