If there was a document originating from elected politicians, telling public *schools* to be more "businesslike", that would cause public outrage, at least in Sweden. So can we find the sources where this kind of encouragement is directed towards public museums? We need document numbers and dates, to trace how the trend has spread between countries. Annual reports from some larger museums should be a good starting point. Our allies could be individual experienced museum people, archivists and librarians, who disagree with current policy. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
