Hi Julie,
  GW does have a Museum Studies Collections Management: Legal and Ethical
Issues course. The class is taught by Ildiko DeAngelis, she is the head of our
program and a former Smithsonian lawyer. I took the class last fall and it was
very valuable. However, I have not heard that the course is going to be
offered online. This may be due to the fact that I have no classes with Ildi
this semester. Therefore, I will give you the email address for my program,
our program secretary (Dierdre Coyle) may be able to give you some information
on the online class. [log in to unmask] Sorry I couldn't be of more help, if you
need anything else you can contact me off the list-serve at [log in to unmask]
