Hi Margaret, For a great resource on university museums and how they interact with their academic hosts can I suggest the UMAC sub committee of ICOM. They have a web site at http://publicus.culture.hu-berlin.de/umac/ Even though they are a relatively young international group they have had annual conferences for the last few years and many of the papers/abstracts are archived and accessible through the above URL.

I'm using examples from my own institution throughout, but want to include examples from other places. There was a great conference at the Tang that covered some of this as well. Does anyone have any examples they'd be interested in sharing? Anything--from a brief description to an article to a link to a website--is appreciated. And it does not always have to be positive! Thanks! -- Margaret Tamulonis Manager, Collections and Exhibitions The Robert Hull Fleming Museum The University of Vermont 802-656-0153 ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
