Approved
consistent with IMLS memo dated 4/18/01, stating that information
will be used for internal planning purposes only, and will not be
used to generalize about the museum community or its professional
training needs. In addition, IMLS will report back to OMB on the
success of the recruiting methods for both surveys that are being
conducted, including response rates. This should be considered a
pilot study only, and not an evaluation of the program.
