The award was created in 1994 to recognize excellence in librarianship for a 12- to 18-month period in one or more of the following areas: creativity, innovation, intellectual or moral courage, leadership and scholarship. Russell will receive $500 in professional development funds.
Russell is being celebrated for her recent collaboration with Adam Matthew Digital, an academic publisher based in the United Kingdom, on the publication of “Ethnomusicology: Global Field Recordings.” The website makes research materials — including 15,000 audio field recordings and interviews, film footage and more than 8,000 images of field notebooks, slides, correspondence and ephemera from around the world — available to anyone with an internet connection. Visitors to the global field recordings website also gain a view into the cultural and social lives of represented communities from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe/Caucasus, the Middle East, North America and Oceania.
