There's a session at the AAM meeting next week on just this topic (The
Little Engine that Can: Security for the Smaller Museum).  If you won't be
able to attend, you can order the tape after the meeting from AAM.   The
organizer is David Liston, Program Analyst-Training, Protection Services,
Smithsonian Institution.   He can probably tell you how to contact the
speakers directly.
