Good arguments have been made for keeping Museum-L as a single listserv,
and for splitting it into topic-specific groups. I suggest that we test
the utility of using more descriptive SUBJECT lines in our postings. In
the short-term this would provide relief for those lack the time to wade
through each message, and would indicate the relative volume for the
different topics discussed on this listserv.
To get the ball rolling, I'll suggest that we use the following subject
prefixes:
admin administrative (staffing, salaries, etc.)
polic collections policies
exhib exhibition issues
storg storage issues and practices
instal installation practices and materials
trtmt conservation treatment and materials
envir environment monitoring and control (RH, T, pests, pollutants)
artist information on artists/artisans
travl travel related queries
You get the idea. Doubtless that I've left out some important topics.
Perhaps as we post other topics we can adopt a provisional prefix for the
topic.
