OK - as long as we're bandying about the exact substance & definition
of "advertising" w/in the context of this list...
I schedule traveling exhibitions at SITES (Smithsonian Institution Traveling
Exhibition Service) and occasionally face last-minute (which in my world
means within a year of the booking date) cancellations for exhibition
bookings. Because SITES' program is so broad (art, history, natural
history, science, children's exhibitions) and because I also have about 50
other exhibitions to ride herd on at any one time, it's difficult and
time-consuming to fill these itinerary holes by conventional means --
letters and telephone. Just recently, I have had two such cancellations
-- one art, and one natural history/science -- that have set my fingers
itching to post them to MUSEUM-L, in case anyone out there has also had
a cancellation that corresponds to ours & is looking for a last-minute
booking. The only thing that has prevented me from posting them is not
knowing how other MUSEUM-Lers will react -- Is it advertising? Or is it a
service to that one subscriber who is also scrambling to fill a hole in
his/her schedule? I think it's both....but is it OK?
If anyone out there has strong feelings either way, please respond -
either on-list if you think your comments will provide general edification
for all or off-list if you want to respond directly to me.
Thanks oodles.
