I subscribe to this list in order to glean information that might be useful to me personally as well as those I serve. The latter include people working in local historical societies, museums, libraries, etc. as well as students and others on the brink of entering the museum world as volunteers and/or part of the work force. I find such announcements on the list quite valuable, and hope that others do too. Jmh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John M.
