I would be very interested in consulting vendors and other commercial
resources for museums on-line. I find the Internet to be a faster, more
user-friendly, and more interesting way of going shopping than the
combination of yellow pages and telephone book. However, I DON'T want to
shop on MUSEUM-L. IMHO, this is not the appropriate place for ads.
Jan-- why not consider developing your own home page on the WWW and getting
it linked up to some good search engines? It's the new wave in
advertising. Even non-profits are advertising this way. Prospective
customers will find you. But, please, not on the list. (I like to think
of this list, and others like it, as a sort of commercial-free PBS or NPR
on the Internet.)
Cheers.
