Three museum studies online courses are starting on Monday:

<http://www.museumclasses.org/http://museumclasses.org/training/trol_classes_ms002a.html>MS002: 
Collection Protection - Are you Prepared? (short course)
Dates: Sept. 14 to 19, 2009
Price: $75
Instructor: Terri Schindel

Disaster planning is overwhelming. Where do you start? Talk to Terri 
about how to get going. Use her checklist to determine your level of 
preparedness. What do you already have in place? Are you somewhat 
prepared? What can you do next? Clarify your current state of 
readiness and develop future steps to improve it.


<http://www.museumclasses.org/http://museumclasses.org/training/trol_classes_ms011a.html>MS011: 
Gallery Guides ***NEW*** (short course)
Dates: Sep 14 - 25, 2009
Price: $75
Instructor: Karin Hostetter

Create a strong rough draft of a self-guided gallery guide for the 
exhibit of your choice. Learn about the power of themes and 
universals. Develop techniques for layering information. Empower 
readers to do more on their own after leaving the exhibit. Create 
information that really "sticks" with the guest. Karin shares her 30 
years experience with you as you develop a useful document for your exhibit.


<http://www.museumclasses.org/http://museumclasses.org/training/trol_classes_ms012a.html>MS012: 
Keeping Small Animals on Exhibit
(Care and Feeding of Small Animal Exhibits) ***NEW*** (short course)
Dates: Sep 14 - 18, 2009
  Price: $75
Instructor: Karin Hostetter

Whether by design or accident, many museums find themselves with 
small collections of small animals - sometimes for exhibit, sometimes 
not; sometimes for educational program use, sometimes not. Determine 
which animals work best for your purposes. Know how to care for the 
animals considering healthy diets, appropriate exhibit or non-exhibit 
caging, guest safety, veterinary care, and needed permits.
