After posting a query about various conferences people attended on some peer listservs, I got only one reply with four more leads -- two of which I had discovered via cha cha guide and search engine by digging deeper into the leads provided. Wow, better than a listserv! Okay, it is time to actually do some (billable) work.

I've been doing Internet skills training workshops since 1995 and way back when I used to do one called "Digital Literacy" which was all about how to use email, listservs, and Internet search functions.

Out of habit, I started off doing the research in my usual ways - posts to listservs, search engine, private emails, and posts to forums. I would fill in the missing pieces and refine with chacha, serach engines, private email, or listserv queries. I got about half dozen or so pretty useful leads.

They should belong to listservs, comment on community bulletin boards. Paying attention and contributing to listservs is a part of my job.

Of course, there's a basic tension for museums that feel both "the obligation to be reflective and considerate, and the seeming imperative to react to emergent issues."
