I can't agree more. The more databases are available on-line, the better off all of us will be intellectually. I continue to find it shocking that people who are so involved in teaching and interpreting objects and ideas want to hold their "collections cards" so close to their chests. Libraries have lead the way, with searchable databases on the internet. Museum collections are the next most logical addition, in my opinion. Susan Harless [log in to unmask]
