EWART-DAVELUY AWARD
FOR EXCELLENCE IN INDEXING
Awarded for the first time this year by the Indexing Society of Canada
WINNER: François Trahan, indexer for Nancy J. Turner’s ANCIENT PATHWAYS, ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE (2014)
From West Coast Editorial Associates’ blog: “Trahan has illustrated the long answer to the question about computers replacing human indexers. Until a computer can recognize and combine synonyms, pronouns, and indirect references; recognize and differentiate between words that are spelled the same way but mean different things; and determine whether a reference is significant or trivial, humans will continue to produce the best, most useful indexes—and win awards for their skill.” More >
