[NHCOLL-L:5517] Excellent review of broadening uses of natural history collections

[Judith Price]

While doing a bit of research, I refound this paper:

Workshop report Broadening the user base of natural history collections
An EDIT and SYNTHESYS initiative
hosted by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels November 4-5, 2008

http://www.synthesys.info/downloads/NA%20C/Workshop%20Collections%20EDIT%20SYNTHESYS%20Feb%2009.pdf

I recommend it for a (re)read as we are all concerned with helping our public, and in some cases our own managers, understand the broad application of our collections to society.
