I would greatly appreciate your input in the best of the (museum) Web 1999 awards. I think you would agree that there are some brilliant web sites and some very poor ones. Make sure you nominate your favourite museum and related sites and ensure that we receive strong candidates.

Dear Colleagues, We've come a long way since the first Museums and the Web Conference in Los Angeles, in March of 1997. But we still don't have consensus about what makes a good museum web site. You can help us discover the unknown treasures of the Museum Web. Once again, an international panel of judges will pick the Best of the Web for museums and cultural heritage. Awards will be given at the Museums and the Web annual meeting, in New Orleans, March 11-14, 1999. See the full program online at http://www.archimuse.com/mw99. Nominate your Favorite Museum or Related Web Sites for the Best of the Web 1999. Awards will be given in a number of categories: * Online Exhibitions * Educational * Membership * Professional * Research You can find the nomination form linked to http://www.archimuse.com/mw99/best/index.html All nominations will be reviewed by a panel of judges, and they will make the final decision on awards. The judges particularly value collaboration, as it offers many benefits, enhancing creativity and sharing resources efficiently.
