Hello  everyone,
 
We are designing  some new exhibits and I need to give my exhibit designer 
the latest  information on the best types of lighting, paint (gasp!) etc.  We 
can't  afford the really expensive stuff, but I would like to get references for 
 everything.  I have been perusing my shelf of references, and some of  them 
are somewhat out of date.  Any help would be  appreciated.
 
Thanks.
