*Review of Mander Jones awards*

Each year the Australian Society of Archivists recognises excellence in
publication through the annual Mander Jones Awards, in memory of Phyllis
Mander-Jones. Awards are made in a number of different categories for
different types of publications, for different categories of author. Each
category has a range of criteria by which the nominations are judged.

To ensure that the categories and criteria for the annual Mander Jones
awards remain relevant, we are seeking feedback on the relevance and
usability of the current categories and judging criteria, and suggestions
for improvement.

In particular, if you have nominated or considered nominating works in the
past, we would appreciate feedback on whether you had difficulty in
deciding what category a work would fit, and whether the criteria seems
relevant or appropriate. Are there new forms of publications that do not
fit any of the current categories?

Details of the current categories and judging criteira are on the ASA
website at

.

Please send any feedback to Rowena Loo, Secretary Mander Jones Awards
Committee, by *30 October 2012*. Feedback can be sent to
