Editorial Reviews
Frances Lennie, Owner, Indexing Research.
"This eminently readable book provides a clear and concise guide to the essentials of indexing, as well as suggestions for further study. It is the perfect choice for a novice indexer, authors desiring to index their own work, or document specialists needing to index their organization's materials. If you are considering indexing as a career, this handbook will help you make up your mind." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
This handbook on indexing techniques is intended for three groups of people:

* occasional indexers, such as authors and technical writers, who may be called upon to index their own books;
* anyone interested in becoming a professional indexer who is looking for concrete examples or techniques for learning how to index;
* librarians who need a review of indexing techniques.

In this book you will find explanations of indexing techniques along with examples of each topic discussed. Since it is not an exhaustive study of indexing, the bibliographies at the end of most chapters contain many suggestions for further reading and study.

In this third edition of the Handbook, Cynthia Bertelsen has completely revised her four chapters on reference works for indexers. All information in the remaining chapters has also been updated.
