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 2002 award, catalogs and brochures must have
been published between 1 September 2000 and 31 August 2001. 
Electronic library and archival exhibitions are limited to those with
stable URL addresses that were initially released between 1 September
2000 and 31 August 2001. They should be available online through September
2002. 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
Library Association, serves as the jury for the selections. Certificates
will be awarded to the winning institutions at the 2002 American Library
Association Annual Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Instructions and entry forms are available from the RBMS web site at the
following address:

****
Please note that the instructions and forms have been recently revised, as
has the list of evaluation criteria used by the Committee. The PDF
Printed Catalog and Brochure entry form can be enlarged for data entry
ease by the zoom feature. 
**** 

All printed catalogs and brochures submitted become the property of RBMS
and are permanently retained as depository copies, available for
public viewing and research at the following institutions: The Harry
Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin;
The Bancroft Library at the University of California at Berkeley; and the
Grolier Club in New York City.

EAC Chair Claudia Funke will acknowledge the receipt of all entries via
email.

Thank you for your attention and we look forward to receiving your
submissions.
