Web Indexing SIG Announces 2009 Award
The winner of the 2009 Web Indexing Award, awarded by the ASI's Web
Indexing Special Interest Group, is Mary Russell. Her index to the
Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers (ANZSI) web site at
http://www.anzsi.org impressed the judges with its comprehensiveness
and usability.
Mary has been a Registered Indexer with the Australian and New Zealand
Society of Indexers for over 10 years. She also wears a couple of
ANZSI hats—she's ANZSI Vice-President and ANZSI Web Manager, as well
as Secretary of the Victorian Branch. While she enjoys indexing
predominately science and medical works, she occasionally branches out
to index/catalogue a private collection of objects, such as
bookplates, or to prepare a descriptive bibliography of perhaps an
author's complete work, or a collection of old books.
In lieu of the prize money of US$75, Mary elected to receive a
one-year subscription to the American Society for Indexing newsletter
Key Words and the book Indexing Specialities: Cookbooks.
The Web Indexing Award is awarded annually to a deserving indexer for
excellence in web site indexing. The 2009 judges were Fred Brown, a
recipient of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers Web
Indexing Award, Heather Hedden, author of the book Indexing
Specialties: Web Sites and a past manager of the Web Indexing SIG,
and James Lamb, author of the book Website Indexes. Selected
comments from the judges and further information about the award are
available on the Web Indexing SIG site at:
http://www.web-indexing.org/web-indexing-award.htm
Submissions for the 2010 award will be accepted towards the end of
2009. The Award is open to members of ASI and affiliated indexing
societies, in addition to members of the Information Architecture
Institute (a partner organization).
