The TSSIS Awards Committee is pleased to announce that Jolande Goldberg is
the 1999 recipient of the Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award for outstanding
contributions in technical services law librarianship. As Senior
Cataloging Policy Specialist for Law Classification at the Library of
Congress, Jolande is responsible for the development of all the new and
revised LC law classification schedules that have appeared over the last
25 years. She is currently working on the schedules for religious law and
a revision of the Roman law schedule. Many of us know Jolande from the
conference programs and workshops she has presented on the interpretation
and application of the law schedules. In the words of the writer of a
nomination submitted to the Awards Committee:
"I can't think of any of us in the law cataloging community who would not
be humbled by the depth and breadth of [Jolande's] contributions ... both
nationally and internationally. How many of us can really understand what
kind of intellect and energy it would take to create seven complete,
complex law classification schedules over the past 19 years?"
The Committee takes great pleasure in bestowing this richly-deserved award
to Jolande Goldberg. The award will be presented at the Technical Services
SIS business meeting at the American Association of Law Libraries' annual
meeting in Washington on Sunday, July 18, 1999.
