September 2, 2008 Working on a museum education research or evaluation project you would like to share with the broader community?
I am now compiling a list of ongoing museum education-related research and evaluation projects for the upcoming September 2008 issue of MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM). I welcome listings by museum staff and volunteers, consultants, faculty, and students at all levels of study. If you wish to share your research or evaluation with others around the world, please send an e-mail to mem at mccastle.com that includes: - name of project - research or evaluation question(s) - how the data will be presented - principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s) - site(s) where research is being conducted - time span - contact information - key words/labels to describe the project All listings are free of charge and displayed in their language of origin. Deadline for the September issue is Friday September 12, 2008. FYI, the following research projects were listed in MEM, August '08: - Does size matter? The values embodied in large technology heritage (Australia) - Developing an Interpretive Plan for Port Dalhousie Inner Range Lighthouse (Canada) UPDATES on research listed in earlier issues of MEM: - Youth Services in French and Australian Libraries (Australia) A complimentary copy of this Museum Education Monitor, August 2008 is available upon request to mem at mccastle.com .

I try to extend the call as widely as possible. Inevitably many of us are subscribed to several electronic discussion lists related to museum education.
