Hi Martha,

At Joslyn, we record these numbers NOT as museum attendance - which is
as accurate a count as possible of who entered the premises.  We record
these numbers for inclusion in our annual report - under Education (for
outreach trunks, speaker's bureau, etc.) and under Exhibitions (for
traveling exhibitions).

(If you'd like, I can mail you photocopies of some pages from our annual
report so you can see an example.)

Best wishes, sincerely,

Jay Heuman
Visitor & Volunteer Services Coordinator
Joslyn Art Museum
