Re: [ARSCLIST] ARSC Awards -- Award criteria (was: Awards 2009 - Call for Nominations)

Hi, thanks for this interesting information. So...is it the case that
"read-only" media (paper, CD-ROM, digital liner notes on audio CDs) are
acceptable but other media are not? Could someone from the committee weigh
in on what formats are and are not actively considered at present? 

Thanks,

Joel

Joel -
Last year Mahina Piha Press published my "Hawaiian & Hawaiian Guitar 
Records 1891 - 1960" and it was awarded the best discography of 2008 in 
the category of Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research, by the 
ARSC.
It was published as a CD-ROM, and there are no current plans to publish 
in print.
So what really needs to be changed is the wording of the award parameters.
Granted, including web-based discographic work may be loaded with 
problems, but all relevant publication besides hard print should be 
addressed by the ARCS discographic committee.
Best regards,
Malcolm Rockwell
