Hello, everyone. I hope you're having a great Friday.

Does anyone have a family guide to your exhibits and/or science
center/museum that you are willing to share or describe? How about some
design and/or content features that seem to be particularly appealing to
visitors?

I checked the ISEN archives for our discussions on Family Guides on this
listserv in the last 3 years. In 2003, Vicki Coats from OMSI sent around a
request similar to mine. However, people must have responded off-list
because I didn't find any responses in the archives. Also, in 2005, Maija
Sedzielarz from SMM made a similar request. I found only one response in the
archives. Finally, earlier this year, a few messages were posted regarding
studies of the effectiveness of Family Guides, which are not exactly what
I'm looking for this time around.

So...Vicki or Maija or anybody else: Can you help me answer these questions?
If you prefer to respond off-list, I will commit to posting again to the
listserv with the highlights of the responses (if authors are comfortable
with that).

Thanks,

Bill
