Colleen Dunham will give you insight at this thought-provoking meeting in which she'll share with us the process of judging Wilson Award indexes. Every year ASI evaluates indexes hoping to give the Wilson Award to one index that is a model of excellence. Both new and experienced indexers will learn about the how the criteria and standards for the Wilson Award can be implemented in their own work by viewing some award-winning indexes. We welcome you to join us as we look at the process of evaluation and elimination, explore ideas for recognizing indexes that are not eligible for the Wilson Award (e.g. electronic indexes), and discuss some shortcomings of the judging process. More information about the Wilson Award is available on the ASI web site (http://www.asindexing.org). Colleen Dunham has been judging indexes submitted for the Wilson Award for two of her 20-year indexing career. She moved to Seattle last year to index for Microsoft's Encarta Encyclopedia. 11:30 - 1:30 Lunch, Networking, "Ask an indexer".As usual, we will make sure that working indexers are sitting at each table, so that new and potential indexers have a chance to ask questions. NEW: "Documentation swap". Bring 20 copies of your resume, business card, inquiry letter, contract, invoice, brochure, etc. We'll display them on a table, discuss what we've brought during introductions, and offer "interested others" a chance to take a copy home.
