Catalogs are all very well, and indeed when I was working at the Franklin Institute my boss used to keep reminding me that our purpose was to *introduce* the subject, and interest the visitor enough so he/she would go look in books. However, a computer kiosk provides an immediacy that might hook the visitor just that extra bit... as those walking-tour interpretive devices do. And some visitors -- dare I say it -- can't afford a catalog. --bayla (another one of those consultant folks) [log in to unmask]
