"Raising the Standards" Conference - Call for Papers

Do you have high standards? Do you set a standard, or follow one? Have you ever been let down by something sub-standard? With so many standards to choose from, which do you follow? Maybe you love Jazz Standards! Have you noticed standards slipping? Do you want to raise the standard? Or are you exploring new territory, where no standards have yet been set?

If you are involved in sound, oral history, recorded performance or music collections standards do matter. Whether you are a collector, researcher, cataloguer, librarian, conservator, preservation specialist, technician, producer, composer, artist, musician, or listener; if you have a story to tell about standards, we’d like to hear it at the 2011 ASRA conference
