>>THE KATHARINE KYES LEAB & DANIEL J. LEAB AMERICAN BOOK PRICES
>>CURRENT EXHIBITION AWARDS are given annually for excellence in the
>>publication of catalogs and brochures that accompany exhibitions of
>>library and
>>archival materials, as well as for electronic exhibitions of such materials.
>>
>>To be eligible for the 2003 awards, catalogs and brochures must have
>>been published between 1 September 2001 and 31 August 2002.
>>Electronic library and archival exhibitions are limited to those with
>>stable URL addresses that were initially released between 1 September
>>2001 and 31 August 2002. They should be available online through September
>>2003. Participation is limited to institutions in the United States and
>>Canada.
>>
>>Printed catalogs may be of varying formats, styles, and scope.
>>The entries are judged in three categories, based on production costs:
>>expensive; moderately expensive; and inexpensive. Brochures, a
>>fourth category introduced in 2001, include printed leaflets, guides, and
>>informative broadsheets that orient the viewer to the exhibition and are
>>handed out free or at low cost.
>>
>>The judging of electronic exhibitions is a three-year pilot project that
>>began with the 2001 Awards period. Eligibility is extended both to
>>electronic exhibitions created as representations of physically existing
>>exhibitions, as well as to exhibitions existing only in electronic format.
>>
>>The Exhibition Awards Committee of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section
>>(RBMS) of the Association of College and Research Libraries, American
