Handbook of Indexing Techniques: A Guide for Beginning Indexers

This handbook on indexing techniques is intended for occasional indexers, such as authors who may need to index their own books; anyone interested in becoming an indexer; and librarians. In this book you will find explanations of indexing techniques along with examples of each topic discussed.

New in the second edition are chapters on reference works for indexers in humanities, social sciences, medical science, and science and technology, contributed by Cynthia Bertelsen. Do Mi Stauber's article on identifying concepts in scholarly works has also been added.
