Hi Jim:
I think this is an interesting exercise. However, the criteria do not
take into account that musea have different sized budgets, different
numbers of employees, are located all over (in big and small
towns/cities). I can only think this "Best of the Web" favors large
institutions located in large cities with resources devoted specifically
to on-line development.

> Hello all,
>
> I am chairing the Best of the Web awards that are held in conjunction
> with the annual "Museums and the Web" conference.
>
> I would like to invite you to submit for consideration the very best
> sites that you think fall into the following categories:
>
> Exhibition
> Education
> Innovative
> Professional
> Research
> E-Services
>
> A full description of each category can be found on the Best of the
> Web awards page:

> http://www.archimuse.com/mw2001/best/index.html
>
> Most museums now have web sites. We hope to identify some of the
> best examples that can serve as models for the entire community. If
> you're familiar with a site that you think could serve as an example
> of best practice, please nominate that site! I would like to ask you
> to avoid nominating your own sites... The judging panel consists of
> a small group of judges from the international community who have
> graciously donated their time and the judges will need to look
> closely at every site that is nominated. We are looking for examples
> of best practice and sometimes one's judgement is clouded where one's
> own site is considered! However, if you feel you site is indeed an
> example of best practice, by all means, nominate your site!
>
> Nominations will close on February 2, 2001 and the winners will be
> announced at the annual conference in Seattle, Washington, March 14 -
> 17, 2001.

> For those of you that are not familiar with the "Best of the Web"
