Yes, as Richard points out, the committee has had a commendation for
electronic exhibitions as part of a three-year pilot project to judge
electronic exhibitions. At the ALA MidWinter Meeting, the RBMS Executive
Session approved the Exhibition Awards Committee motion to have electronic
exhibitions become a permanent division of the Katharine Kyes Leab & Daniel
J. Leab American Book Prices Current Exhibitions Awards-- division five--
beginning in 2004. We shall soon be mounting the web pages soliciting
entries for 2004, which will include the electronic exhibition judging
criteria established by the committee.These should be up early May.
Since 2001, the "Katharine Kyes Leab & Daniel J. Leab American Book Prices
Current Exhibition Awards" have included a "special commendation" for
electronic exhibitions. For information and url's, have a look at the RBMS
Exhibition Awards Committee's web pages at
