While I didn't know Allyson exceptionally well, I recruited her to write an article while she was still a doctoral student at UCLA. I believe it was Elaine Svenonius who suggested her for a special issue of the Cataloging & Classification Quarterly on "Subject Control in Online Catalogs." Her article was "Matching LCSH and User Vocabulary in the Library Catalog." I remember how pleased she was to get published in such a respectable journal. A quick search in Google Scholar indicates it became her fourth most cited publication with 57 citations. Not bad for a doctoral student article. While we met only a few times later in her career, I still remember her well and am saddened by her death.
