Wilson Award Commendation
From the American Society for Indexing (ASI) website listing winners by year:
2004 Janet Russell for her index to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second
Edition, 2002 Revision (2003 Update). The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules
(AACR2) are "designed for use in the construction of catalogs and other
lists in general libraries of all sizes. The rules cover the description of,
and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly
collected at the present time." The rules are published jointly by The
American Library Association, The Canadian Library Association and CILIP:
Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (London).
Speaking for the committee, Janet Perlman commented that, "The Wilson jury
felt that the index exhibited excellence in its accuracy, completeness, and
ease of use. The index had a level of complexity matching that of the
document, and the indexer's use of the text's language reflected good
indexing practice and anticipated the needs of its primary users:
cataloguers."
