Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for information about evaluation.
The following were recommended:
the South West Museums website was widely recommended:
http://www.swmuseums.httpmedia.co.uk/development_programmes/MLI/eval.htm
>
the Evaluation and Visitor Research Special Interest Group [EVRSIG] of Museums
Australia.
>http://www.amol.org.au/evrsig/
>
is linked to SWM. In addition, Gillian Savage there has a Practical Guide to
Evaluating Natural and Heritage Interpretation which is available from her for
$AU25. Another resource which may be of interest to you is an online course in
Action Research offered by Bob Dick at Southern Cross University in NSW,
Australia. Here's the URL:
