Dear Angela, At the Visitor Studies Association (VSA) Conference this past summer, Gianna Moscardo of James Cook University in Queensland, Australia, gave a talk about a formative evaluation of an interpretive brochure she worked on for use on a self-guided tour of the Great Barrier Reef. I believe this paper might be helpful to you. My apologies for not being able to tell you how exactly you might get a hold of this study, but I'm hoping other VSA members who remember this paper and who read this list will jump in and point the way! Sincerely, Kirsten Sabina Buchner, M.A. Senior Research Associate Institute for Learning Innovation 166 West Street Annapolis, MD 21401 tel (410) 268-5149 fax (410) 268-2179 From: Angela Roberts <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Self-guided brochures/tours Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 18:38:37 -0400 Please forgive any cross-postings. I am working on a self-guided interpretive brochure for our historic gardens and decorative arts collections. As part of the team process of "buy-in" and conceptualization with the rest of my institution's staff, I am looking for (1) good examples of a self-guided printed tour and/or (2) articles and/or evaluation studies of the effectiveness of a self-guided printed tour(s). If you have any or know of any, I would appreciate your sharing. Thanks! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ museum-l.html.
