We put our Christmas mail order gift catalog out as an experiment.  It was
a little crudely done (by me), but it cost us nothing to do, and it
supplemented our member's mailing.
 
The URL is http://www.usc.edu/lacmnh/default.html
 
Choose "Gift Selection Center".
 
We're considering doing more of this, but it's low priority.  I feel that
we need to flesh out the information content of our page before we start to
branch out.
