----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Museum Division and other interested colleagues, This issue just doesn't seem to go away, perhaps an indication that there's a need out there for more than conference sessions at 15 year intervals. Can we identify a more permanent vehicle for bringing together the information that new colleagues continue to seek -- how to justify an exchange program to one's administration? what are the cost components of an exchange program? who should pay for what, and who ends up doing the mailing? does it all result in true benefits for a library? And as we heard at last year's session in San Antonio, publication exchange is of central concern to strapped museum libraries in countries with emerging economies. An ARLIS/NA web site page? A clearing house? An occasional paper? A standards document? Can we build on Cecilia Chin's excellent session at San Antonio? Do we want to put this on our Section agenda for the Philadelphia conference? Karen McKenzie *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Karen McKenzie Chief Librarian E.P.
