Putting an acknowledgment on your resume

I have a pretty interesting, non-research-related acknowledgment I want to put on my resume (I'm applying for clinical and research jobs during my year off). I received it for putting in a good amount of work (~200 hrs.) helping my boss with an online book on clinical research ethics. He's the only author and I'm the only acknowledgment he makes. The book is being used to structure ethics courses at a few institutions around the US (including ours) and there's a link to the book I can put on my resume.

Is this worth listing? If it is, where should I put it on my resume -- publications, under my work experience for this job, somewhere else?

Thanks!

I would say put it under your work exp. for this job, but I don't know for sure.

I'd say put it under work. The key point isn't that you got an acknowledgment. Rather, the thing you want to stress is the work you did (what you spent 200 hrs actually doing).

That makes the most sense, considering how weird it looked under the publications section.

Should I include the link or just give a citation for the book?
