Yes, Julianne, I must agree that collections and their care must be the concern of all museum personnel. However, as I have monitored this list for a few months, I have seen no discussion regarding teaching and consumable collections. Thus I would say to Craig, If you want to discuss such items, here is the place, because a number of collections managers do monitor this list, and I for one would be glad to "interface" with you regarging these topics (or any other collection management conern you or others may have).
