[Wactclc-alma] Searching for Academy Award Winners

[Guidry, Wade]

One fun question that came up this week is how to search your collection for Academy Award Winners.

Maybe some of you have better ideas, but one method is to search the 'Notes' index for 'All Titles' for "Academy Award Winner"

The Notes index contains the 586a, which is the official location for that award information.

The challenge with text strings is consistency (or inconsistency) of usage across records.

But 'Academy Award Winner' seems the most official term of art.

'Academy Award' will include nominations as well.

One thing I'm not sure about is variations on Academy Awards. There seem to be flavors of Academy awards (youth, etc), so some trial and error is probably necessary.
