Good Morning! 

Somewhat related to Nicole's question....I am considering doing a small 
research project on whether
 handheld devices could be used in the gallery for self-directed exhibit 
guides for school field trip groups.
 This might be incorporated into a larger research problem that would 
include pre-visit, museum exhibit-based, and post-visit activities
that would be provided online. 

If  you are offering self-directed guides that are housed on a handheld 
device I would appreciate knowing any information
you might be able to provide.

Thank you...
