I have read a copy of SPECTRA a friend gave me and am very interested in the organization. I worked in the Newark Museum, Newark NJ, for six years and am very interested in all aspects of museum operation and curatorial functions. My present position as computing consultant to the Newark campus of Rutgers University has permitted me the ability to consult on such matters to the Newark Museum from time to time. One of my great interests is the implementation of computing in Museums. As a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, I would like to join organizations such as the MCN if I am allowed. I've requested the proceedings from the upcoming British Museum Conference: "Imaging the Past: Electronic Imaging and Computer Graphics in Museums and Archaeology" but was told that the proceedings would not be ready for about two years. Would I be able to get the proceedings from other museum Conferences through the MCN? What conference proceedings are presently available through the MCN? All assistance is greatly appreciated.
