The Indexing Companion, first published in 2007, gives an overview of indexing for professional indexers, editors, authors, librarians and others who may be called upon to write, contribute to, edit or commission an index. It covers basic principles as well as examining controversial areas. It is based on publishing standards, textbooks, and the consensus of the indexing community, gained from participation in various mailing lists. It discusses a wide range of document formats and subjects that require indexing, as well as dipping into new topics on the edge of indexing such as folksonomies and the semantic web. Some people consider indexing to be a dry topic - at the end of this book people should be thinking of indexing as a challenging and rewarding profession.

Indexing Books Second Edition written by Nancy C. Mulvany and has been published by University of Chicago Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009-11-15 with Reference categories.

Since 1994, Nancy Mulvany's Indexing Books has been the gold standard for thousands of professional indexers, editors, and authors. This long-awaited second edition, expanded and completely updated, will be equally revered. Like its predecessor, this edition of Indexing Books offers comprehensive, reliable treatment of indexing principles and practices relevant to authors and indexers alike. In addition to practical advice, the book presents a big-picture perspective on the nature and purpose of indexes and their role in published works. New to this edition are discussions of "information overload" and the role of the index, open-system versus closed-system indexing, electronic submission and display of indexes, and trends in software development, among other topics. Mulvany is equally comfortable focusing on the nuts and bolts of indexing—how to determine what is indexable, how to decide the depth of an index, and how to work with publisher instructions—and broadly surveying important sources of indexing guidelines such as The Chicago Manual of Style, Sun Microsystems, Oxford University Press, NISO TR03, and ISO 999. Authors will appreciate Mulvany's in-depth consideration of the costs and benefits of preparing one's own index versus hiring a professional, while professional indexers will value Mulvany's insights into computer-aided indexing. Helpful appendixes include resources for indexers, a worksheet for general index specifications, and a bibliography of sources to consult for further information on a range of topics. Indexing Books is both a practical guide and a manifesto about the vital role of the human-crafted index in the Information Age. As the standard indexing reference, it belongs on the shelves of everyone involved in writing and publishing nonfiction books.

How to write an index for any book, collection, or report It’s true. Creating an index for a book is challenging and time-consuming. It’s why authors and publishers hire professional indexers. But that’s not the only way to get a quality index. If you have the desire—and a penchant for detail—you too can write an orderly and comprehensive index. Book Indexing shows you how. With the aid of checklists, “Try This” exercises, and dozens of examples, Book Indexing helps you face the text with confidence. Step by step, you will learn: — The different kinds of indexes, and which to use for your book. — How to use the hierarchy of information to decide what to include in the index, and what to leave out. — How to capture the book’s themes and give the reader a starting point into the index. — How to lay out the index to help readers with their search—including searches for words that aren’t in the book. — Tips for choosing the right words for index entries—the basis of a refined index. — The five-step process for tackling your indexing project. Throughout the book, Stephen takes you through his decision-making on dozens of extracts from his own indexes. Imagine the value of an index for a favorite cookbook, your community's history, your company’s manual, or a book you wrote yourself. With Book Indexing as your guide, you can create an index worthy of the text—an index that your audience will turn to repeatedly. Who else can use this book? If you’re an editor, a publisher, or anyone else who works with indexers, you’ll see first-hand what indexers think about and how they do their work. Or perhaps you’ve wondered about professional indexing as a career or a side business. Book Indexing will give you the chance to try out your abilities and interests with no investment but your time.
