Dear ASTC Members,

The Museum Education Roundtable cordially invites you
to join a dedicated group of museum educators! Since
1969, MER has published the Journal of Museum
Education, the only journal printed in the United
States that is devoted to the theory and practice of
museum education. 

By joining today, you will get the next issue of the
Journal as soon as it is published, and this is an
issue not to be missed! In “Digital Technology in
Japanese Museums” scientists and educators discuss
innovative uses of mobile communication devices in the
museums. The contributing writers took part in a
four-year research project funded by the Japan Society
for the Promotion of Science. Learn from their
successes (and failures!), ensuring that your museum’s
forays into audio visual guides produce the results
you are hoping for. 

In addition to the Journal, which is published three
times each year, MER members also receive an
e-newsletter, Network, packed with information about
new initiatives underway at museums throughout the
country, profiles of museum educators and upcoming MER
events. 

Membership in MER is just $40 annually, a bargain for
a professional journal. Students and people who are
retired pay the reduced rate of $30. 

MER is a non-profit, volunteer organization with one
part-time, paid staff member.

To join MER please visit www.mer-online.org, or for
more information send a message directly to me at
