How do you know if your museum meets the current definition of a museum? Wondering if your collections policy is current? Want to learn about the museum environment? Three new sections of the American Association of Museums (AAM) web site answer these questions and provide links to more information. Carefully researched by AAM's Technical Information Service (TIS), these pages answer some of our most frequently-asked questions. For definitions of a museum, go to http://www.aam-us.org/tiswiam.htm For collections policy guidelines, go to http://www.aam-us.org/tiswcmp.htm For an overview of the museum environment, go to http://www.aam-us.org/tisdme.htm We expect that these pages will evolve as policies and learning about museums continues to develop.
