Yes, Julianne, I must agree that collections and their care must be the concern
of all museum personnel.  However, as I have monitored this list for a few
months, I have seen no discussion regarding teaching and consumable
collections.  Thus I would say to Craig, If you want to discuss such items,
here is the place, because a number of collections managers do monitor this
list, and I for one would be glad to "interface" with you regarging these
topics (or any other collection management conern you or others may have).
