Integrated Pest Management: The Plan and Implementation online course begins July 1 on MuseumStudy.com You are familiar with Integrated Pest Management and have been using it, but you never got around to writing a plan to carry it out. Here is the course for you!

A written plan formalizes the IPM strategy and keeps management abreast of your status. It organizes your ideas and lays the groundwork for the needs of the collection and the building(s). It provides the direction in which you want to take the program, including grant funding and accreditation.

Join Carnegie Museum of Natural History Conservator Gretchen Anderson for this four week online course in which participants will learn how to apply IPM principles to their specific situation and institution. A draft plan and specific implementation strategies will be developed and discussed. Even though our institutions have different challenges the exchange of ideas presents the opportunity for us to help each other brainstorm solutions that will work for our situation.

Policies for Managing Collections 4 week online course begins July 1 on MuseumStudy.com Museums today are faced with many new and unexpected challenges, including climate change, developing sustainable practices in collection care, preservation of digital information, decolonization and repatriation, changing environmental parameters for collection storage, and strategies for coping with ever-larger collections with shrinking budgets. In his May 2024 webinar, John E. Simmons discussed how good collection management policies can help museums address these issues and other topics in the new, revised third edition of Things Great and

Small: Collection Management Policies.

Join instructor John Simmons for the 4 week long course Policies for Managing Collections. In this course we will critically examine the purposes and functions of collections management policies, including how collections are defined, acquired, managed, used, maintained, and deaccessioned.

Learn how to write collections management policies for your own institution and how to evaluate the effectiveness of your policies.

Participants can purchase the Third Edition of the book at a discount.
