collections are a prime target for such downsizing initiatives. The decision was made that much easier by the lack of a public or research “face” to the museum. How are they supposed to advocate for the museum’s collections when their website doesn’t even
mention collections or research at all!! There is no way of showing a need for the administration to take action to preserve the collections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1D2129;background:#F6F7F9">The biggest thing you need to do is make your collection/institution visible and promote and advocate for it at every opportunity. Become part
of the collections community. There is no substitute for self-promotion. Your website and social media should sing your praises and showcase how valuable your collections are but they should also be accessible through web portals, aggregators etc. so that
they can be effectively used by the research community. We do however need a fundamental shift in the way collections are perceived by the rest of our community - the researchers need to advocate for the collections they use and provide products created back
to the collections (publications, Genbank sequences etc.), the aggregators need to do more for the collections that are part of their networks (provide user stats, cleanup tools and measures of collections worth) while publishers also need to work to make
collection specimen citations more discoverable and NSF needs to provide more mechanisms for funding these collections that are a national and international treasure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If the Facebook post can be taken at "face" value, it sounds like the administration actively wants to destroy the collections. A German colleague told me years ago about a museum who hired a new head who didn't see the need for research
collections. As it was told, he personally helped toss the specimens into the dumpsters. <o:p></o:p></p>

the state at #51 out of 51 states & DC evaluated for the quality of their pre-college systems. Given their priorities, seems like football should win out, although I don't know how many of this institution's players go on to successful NFL careers.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Hi All,<br>
I've been thinking about this ever-growing problem for a while, as now and again you hear of orphaned/abandoned collections.<br>
<br>
What do people think of creating some kind of task force to come up with a list of the collections in the U.S. (iDigBio probably has most of these collections listed already) and reach out to them before things reach a crisis point? We could provide 'emergency'
contact info for other institutions who would be willing to take the material. It may even serve to show the administration of the institutions that other places value the material and give them incentive to preserve them.<br>
<br>
Just a thought.<br>

FYI: I'm not affiliated in any way with ULM, I posted about this because it needs broader attention, immediately, and to see if anyone has ideas as to how the museum community might put pressure on the admins of ULM to re-think this terrible ultimatum.<br>
