Reminder: AATSEEL Web Award nominations

[Sibelan Forrester]

This is to remind everyone who is interested in the development of web
sites in the field that nominations are due soon for the new AATSEEL Prize
for best web site in the field of Slavic and East European studies.

Web sites may be nominated by any member of AATSEEL; authors (at least one
responsible author, for collective sites) must be members in good standing
of AATSEEL.  Entries will be evaluated by the Ad Hoc Technology Committee
of the AATSEEL Executive Council, in consultation with the Publications
Committee.  Members of the Committee will visit all nominated sites between
April 15 and May 1, 1999; the winner will be notified some time in early
fall of 1999 and will receive the award at the 1999 conference in Chicago.
Members of the Ad Hoc Technology Committee and Publications Committee of
the AATSEEL Executive Council are not eligible to enter this competition,
though they are invited to nominate sites authored by others.

Entries will be evaluated both according to content and to effectiveness of
presentation.  This includes validity of html code; "bells and whistles,"
if any, that enhance presentation rather than distracting; minimal loss of
meaning and effect when viewed with various browsers; integrity of links;
common sense and good taste.

Please direct questions and nominations to:

All nominations must be received by April 15, 1999.

Thank you for your attention!  Please pass this message along to any
friends or colleagues who paradoxically do not combine interest in the web
with regular reading of SEELANGS.
