RE: text and labels
On Tuesday, Trish Downs asked:

Look up Beverly Serrell's book "Making Exhibit Labels" and any of a series of
articles and papers by Judy Rand on the topic. The book was published by ASLAH
and may now be available through AltaMira Press, (805) 499-0721. Judy's
materials have appeared in AZA and AAM conference proceedings among others.
Good luck!
