9 July 2009 Dear Renee,
If you have access to OCLC Connexion, I would do a search under the "SU" "Subject" field and type in: Museums juvenile fiction. Nearly 500 items appear. You can evaluate which ones may meet your criteria. Another thought is to go through WorldCat and select the same terms. Good luck, Mario Nick Klimiades Library and Archives Director Billie Jane Baguley Library and Archives Heard Museum 2301 North Central Avenue Phoenix, Arizona 85004-1323 voice: (602) 252-8840 fax: (602) 252-9757 email: mario at heard.org "What's wrong with this world? There ain't but one word will tell you what's wrong, and that's selfishness"--Will Rogers (1879-1935) >>> ReneeM at lacma.org 7/9/2009 11:37 AM >>> Attached is a personal project to which I'm hoping you all can contribute in your infinite knowledge to all-things-museum related. As a personal project with the help of several others, I'm trying to develop a bibliography of books about children in museums - museums of all kinds, but fiction books only, like books stories children solving crimes, wandering around at night, traveling through time, encountering dinosaurs, ghosts, etc, etc with museums as the background. Can be picture books or K-12 novels. Could you pls let me know of any books I might have missed to your knowledge? And please circulate to anyone else in your museum knowledgeable about this, eg, librarians, educators? The list can be updated at any time, but I'm hoping for the majority of feedback by August 1st. Thank you Renee Montgomery Assistant Director Collections Information and Risk Management Los Angeles County Museum of Art T 323 857 6059 E reneem at lacma.org
