We are looking at ways to work more effectively with the informal education
community in an era of dwindling resources but increased demand for
resources.  Can you, the museum community offer us some advice, insight or
maybe just share your experiences and challenges?

Thank you, and thank you for all you do to inspire and educate the public.

literacy,' but little attention is given to the need for scientists to
achieve 'public literacy.'"
