collection review

[Amy Lyn Edwards]

Our museum advisory board has decided to start a process of internal
collection review, and the invertebrate collection I manage will be one of
the first to be reviewed.  The idea behind the review, as presented to me,
is to show the value of the collection and to be used as a tool to provide
the collections with more support.  The process is to take a limited amount
of my time and the reviewers time (a hour each).  Since I want the
collection to profit from the review, I was wondering if anyone who has
been through a similar review process might have suggestions on how to
approach the review.

Sincerely
Amy
(invertebrate collection manager)
