Alan Friedman ([log in to unmask]) has a good article, that I
think was in the Visitor Studies journal.  Bryce Seidl also had an
article that was published in Informal Learning Review, published by Mac
West (www.informallearning.com).

Can anybody recommend a recent article/publication that succinctly
summarizes the science center field - past, present, and predictions on
the future?  And any thoughts out there on where you personally think
the field is going concerning exhibits, programs, structure, leadership,
relevance, role in society?

All responses are already appreciated.
