Matt- You can subscribe to MUSEUM-L by sending the message: subscribe yourfullname to [log in to unmask] or LISTSERV at the BITNET address you used. This is usually the way to subscribe to most groups. Now I have a question for you, hope you don't mind. My husband and I will be traveling to Monterey next weekend so that he can interview for a position at Moss Landing Marine Labs, and so that I can scope out job possibilities. I noticed "SF" in your address and wondered if I could pick your brain for any info or assistance you might be able to give. I'm a Collections Manager for Bishop Museum, Malacology collection (snails and the like), but have also worked in botanical, fish and vertebrate collections. I've already sent resumes to the museums from Los Gatos to Monterey in hopes of a lead, and of course have been searching alternate possiblities at the Monterey Aquarium & its affiliated research institute. I don't know if there are any kind of museum consulting groups in the area, but I have been trying to find info on any. I hope this isn't an inconvenience to you, and I thank you wholeheartedly in advance of any information you might be able to pass my way. Karen J.
