MCN folk,
Unfunded, unaffiliated Citizen Science/History projects -- The Softalk Apple
Project and FactMiners.org developer community -- have stepped up as bakers
to the Docent Educator Online Kickstarter campaign. (Our
congratulatory/encouragement comment on Kickstarter explains more:
http://goo.gl/lLLFyf).
The Docent Educator will be a valuable resource for projects like ours. It
sure would be a big help to us "new kids on the block" if existing museum
tech and museum ed professionals would join us as backers to ensure that
your own professional heritage is preserved and made available for
generations to come. Folks like us need you to share your knowledge and this
is a prime example.
Thanks, especially if you go here and become a backer: http://goo.gl/Xgaxa7.

Subject: [MCN-L] It's a New Fiscal Year and Our Last Chance to Save the
Docent Educator Journal
The Museum-Ed Kickstarter campaign to digitize, preserve and share 12 years
of issues of the now defunct Docent Educator Journal only has 4 days left
and we remain a little under $5,000 short of the $12,000 goal to fund the
project. This is likely to be the last chance we have as a community to
preserve this valuable resource and you and your museum's support is
critical in making this happen. Our campaign offers a wide range of rewards
from credits to eBook versions and a bound compendium of all issues. Any
contribution will be helpful and the quickest way to reach our goal is for
your museum's library to pledge $250 for a bound set.
This is the final opportunity to contribute to this important campaign.
