Abstract

I am delighted to announce that Kelly Thompson’s paper “More than a Name: a Content Analysis of Name Authority Records for Authors Who Self-identify as Trans” is the winner of the 2017 Edward Swanson Memorial Best of LRTS Award. The award jury selected this paper in recognition of how it addresses timely and relevant issues in our profession, and because it makes a powerful case that our name authority initiatives should respect a person’s agency. I concur, and believe that the topics it raises are just the beginning of a long process of change, and one for the greater good. It was my pleasure to work with Kelly, and the honor is well deserved. Kelly will be presented with the award during the ALCTS Awards Ceremony during the 2017 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago.
