Advisory Services provides an immediate, individual learning opportunity for museums seeking assistance in meeting their institutional goals and objectives. The Service also helps museums to operate according to accepted standards of excellence and acts as a liaison between museum personnel and sources of expertise both within and outside the museum community.

Advisory Services consists of two distinct, yet complementary, components: an in-office information and referral service, and on-site visits. The information and referral service provides access to the collective expertise of the entire MAS staff, the holdings of the resource library, as well as referral to outside individuals and agencies as required. Advisory visits provide an individualized learning situation for museum personnel experiencing specific problems or wanting to achieve certain organizational goals. Advice provided, through whatever means, is based on the system of standards articulated in Standards for Saskatchewan Museums - 2002.

Advisory Services are free to members. There is a fee for non-members. The one exception is for groups seeking assistance in the initial planning or organizational development of new museums in which case consultation services are provided free of charge. This exception is necessary in order to ensure new museums are established based on sound museum operational standards.
