Subject:  - Learning Studio - week of February 25

This week we have a magazine article which is recommended by Learning
Studio staff member Richard Brooks.

"Noise Busters" by Richard & Joyce Wolkomir (Smithsonian, v. 31, #12,
March 2001), is about the efforts of the non-profit Noise Pollution
Clearinghouse to measure and combat noise pollution.
        [Over the years, a number of visitors AND staff have complained
about the
noise levels (are they legal/lawful/healthy here?) within the
Exploratorium, so this article might make for good reading should anyone
try bring up the subject again....]

And a printed book:

Project MOSAIC : museums at the crossroads
        Q 105 .U5 P76 1996

This week we again announce more on-line titles.

To locate the links search our catalog for the titles.

Tips.
 - 1 If a title has commas in it leave them out of your search. The catalog
treats commas as OR searches which will give you a very large search result.

 - 2 If a title has a colon in it leave it out or you will get a search
result with "No record found".

 - 3. Notice that in the record for each of these titles under subjects is
a link to "Online resources". Click this link for a full list of what we
have catalogued in this format to date. Many of the records have yet to be
announced here.
