Dear Sara Thanks for your recommendations and I'll appreciate more information about this topic. In fact, we'll be starting a working group of Museum Libraries in my city (Bogota, Colombia). Also, we have two web groups talking about 'life in / of' Museum Libraries: one in Spanish: http://museodata.ning.com/group/bibliotecasenmuseos and one in English: http://museum30.ning.com/group/museumlibraries You are welcome to any of them. Happy weekend for everybody! Best.
