I believe you have misunderstood my latest post on contacting the AAM. What I wish to investigate *is* the accredidation process of museums--not museum studies programs. I wish to learn more about museums and staff. In my opinion, it is the staff that constitutes a museum's greatest asset. I am curious to learn about ways that the AAM might take a more agressive approach to ensuring that a museum's professionalism also includes adequate wages, etc. for staff in addition to such important issues as collections care. It may lead nowhere but I can no longer sit still. John Handley
