Title

Foreign concepts : indexing and indexes on the continent

Source

Indexer. 19(1995) no.3, S.160-172

Year

1995

Abstract

The British standard was recently taken as the basis for the new international standard for indexing, but unexpected cultural differences may still continue to produce surprisingly non standard results. Examples of indexes from recent continental European books show that they typically have multiple indexes in multiple volumes, long lists of unanalysed page references, and lack cross references to related concepts
