Are you working on museum education-related research or evaluation? If so,
MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM), the monthly e-newsletter, would like to list
your work in our upcoming March 2009 issue.

We welcome listings by museum workers, consultants, faculty, and students at
all levels of study. To assist these research efforts, MEM continues to
offer a free introductory one-year subscription to any student in a museum
education-related course or program. MEM also offers a complimentary
one-year subscription to any museum educator currently out of work or
between jobs. Visit http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.

To share research or evaluation with others around the world, just send an
e-mail to [log in to unmask] that includes:

- how the data will be presented
- principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s)
