----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear Colleagues: I have been asked by Museum senior staff to spearhead our effort to create a research policy for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts staff. Our new Director, Michael Brand, has as one of his priorities increased research and publication, and we need to formalize this in a policy that will detail institutional support in the form of sabbatical time, remuneration for travel, etc. Will those of you in museum libraries or other art libraries who have such a policy in place be willing to share the document with me? I would be most grateful for anything that you are able to send. My FAX number is included in my address below. Many thanks in advance to all of you! Suzanne Suzanne H.
