----------------------------Original message---------------------------- To Members of the Museum Division, Looking for a volunteer(s) to head and others to serve, on the statistics task force as described in forwarded message below. Any thoughts about types of statistics unique to Museum Libraries would be welcomed from all (even non-volunteers) -- As would any comments about the project and how such a compilation would be useful for Museum library administrators, in particular and library administrators in general. Volunteers may reply to me. Reply to the list to discuss the project. Thanks.

I know the Architecture Section discussed this at their business meeting in San Antonio and have members ready and willing to serve on such a group....how about the rest of you?
