Rez. in: KO 32(2005) no.4, S.160-162 (C. Jacobs): "This update maintains the place of Mulvany's 1994 work as an essential indexing resource. Addressed to indexers, authors and editors, it provides a thorough introduction to the field of back-of-the-book indexing, while providing context and direction for dealing with some of the more arcane problems that can arise. Book indexers must analyze text rapidly and organize the "map" that they are creating in a manner that fits the anticipated cognitive patterns of potential readers, is internally consistent and corresponds to standards. Intuition, high-level analytical skills, pattern-recognition abilities, commonsense and the ability to communicate the big picture as well as the details in few words are signs of a gifted indexer. Thus, it makes sense that Nancy Mulvany's conviction that indexers are born, not made, underlies the purpose and structure of Indexing Books. Consequently, this is a book that focuses on best practices and acceptable options, not on specializations. While it provides contexts and procedures for the practice of indexing so that individuals new to the field may use it as a textbook, it goes beyond this to suggest avenues and resources for decisionmaking. Established professionals as well as students will therefore find it useful. Mulvany speaks directly to the readers, engaging them with the material; her philosophy comes through clearly. Mulvany refers extensively to current authorities throughout, linking practice to ISO standards, the British standard, NISO guidelines, AACR2R, the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as to more specialized resources. Citations have been meticulously updated and references to the latest research and discussions included. ..."

A chapter an image indexing starts with a useful discussion of the elements of bibliographic description needed for visual materials and of the variations in the functioning and naming of functions in different software packaltes. Sample features are discussed in light of four different software systems: MAVIS, Convera Screening Room, CONTENTdm, and Virage speech and pattern recognition programs. The chapter concludes with an overview of what one has to consider when choosing a system. The last chapter in this section is an oddball one an creating a back-ofthe-book index using Microsoft Excel. The author warns: "It is not pretty, and it is not recommended" (p.209). A curiosity, but it should have been included as a counterpoint in the first part, not as part of the database indexing section. The final section begins with an excellent article an voice recognition software (Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred), followed by a look at "automatic indexing" through a critique of Sonar Bookends Automatic Indexing Generator. The final two chapters deal with Data Harmony's Machine Aided Indexer; one of them refers specifically to a news content indexing system. In terms of scope, this reviewer would have liked to see thesaurus management software included since thesaurus management and the integration of thesauri with database indexing software are common and time-consuming concerns. There are also a few editorial glitches, such as the placement of the oddball article and inconsistent uses of fonts and caps (eg: VIRAGE and Virage), but achieving consistency with this many authors is, indeed, a difficult task. More serious is the fact that the index is inconsistent. It reads as if authors submitted their own keywords which were then harmonized, so that the level of indexing varies by chapter. For example, there is an entry for "controlled vocabulary" (p.265) (singular) with one locator, no cross-references. There is an entry for "thesaurus software" (p.274) with two locators, plus a separate one for "Thesaurus Master" (p.274) with three locators. There are also references to thesauri/ controlled vocabularies/taxonomies that are not mentioned in the index (e.g., the section Thesaurus management an p.204). This is sad. All too often indexing texts have poor indexes, I suppose because we are as prone to having to work under time pressures as the rest of the authors and editors in the world. But a good index that meets basic criteria should be a highlight in any book related to indexing. Overall this is a useful, if uneven, collection of articles written over the past few years. Because of the great variation between articles both in subject and in approach, there is something for everyone. The collection will be interesting to anyone who wants to be aware of how indexing software works and what it can do. I also definitely recommend it for information science teaching collections since the explanations of the software carry implicit in them descriptions of how the indexing process itself is approached. However, the book's utility as a guide to purchasing choices is limited because of the unevenness; the vendor-written articles and testimonials are interesting and can certainly be helpful, but there are not nearly enough objective reviews. This is not a straight listing and comparison of software packaltes, but it deserves wide circulation since it presents an overall picture of the state of indexing software used by freelancers."

"Clearly details the conceptual and practical notions of controlled vocabularies. . provides a crash course for newcomers and offers experienced practitioners a common frame of reference. A valuable book." - Christine Connors, TriviumRLG LLC The Accidental Taxonomist is the most comprehensive guide available to the art and science of building information taxonomies. Heather Hedden-one of today's leading writers, instructors, and consultants on indexing and taxonomy topics-walks readers through the process, displaying her trademark ability to present highly technical information in straightforward, comprehensible English. Drawing on numerous real-world examples, Hedden explains how to create terms and relationships, select taxonomy management software, design taxonomies for human versus automated indexing, manage enterprise taxonomy projects, and adapt taxonomies to various user interfaces. The result is a practical and essential guide for information professionals who need to effectively create or manage taxonomies, controlled vocabularies, and thesauri. "A wealth of descriptive reference content is balanced with expert guidance. . Open The Accidental Taxonomist to begin the learning process or to refresh your understanding of the depth and breadth of this demanding discipline." - Lynda Moulton, Principal Consultant, LWM Technology Services "From the novice taxonomist to the experienced professional, all will find helpful, practical advice in The Accidental Taxonomist." - Trish Yancey, TCOO, Synaptica, LLC "This book squarely addresses the growing demand for and interest in taxonomy. ...Hedden brings a variety of background experience, including not only taxonomy construction but also abstracting and content categorization and creating back-of-the-book indexes. These experiences serve her well by building a broad perspective on the similarities as well as real differences between often overlapping types of work." - Marjorie M. K. Hlava, President and Chairman, Access Innovations, Inc., and Chair, SLA Taxonomy Division

Footnote

Zwar ist das Register zu diesem Buch ein Vorbild, und dem Verlag sei gedankt, dass dem Register neun Prozent vom Buchumfang zugestanden worden sind. Aber auch hier vermisst man noch immer Schlagwörter wie z.B. "Interpretation" oder "Cutter's Rule" (für die Notwendigkeit, die jeweils besttreffenden Schlagwörter aus dem Indexsprachenwortschatz beim Indexieren zu benutzen), alles Themen, die im Buch abgehandelt sind. Wohltuend ist auch die undogmatische Art, in welcher verschiedene formale Indexierungsvarianten als zulässige Alternativen nebeneinander gestellt werden. Unkonventionell ist es beispielsweise im Register zu diesem Buch, dass ein Schlagwort dort auch schon dann durch Untereinträge aufgegliedert wird, wenn es weniger als fünf bis sechs Fundstellenangaben hat. Wohltuend auch die Unvoreingenommenheit, in welcher die Stärken von nicht interpretierter Volltextverarbeitung dort hervorgehoben werden, wo sie zum Zug kommen können, wie z.B. bei simplen Erinnerungs- und Namenrecherchen. Ein wenig ins Auge springender Ratschlag an jeden, der beruflichen oder privaten Schriftwechsel führt oder Fachliteratur liest, verdient hervorgehoben zu werden. Es ist ratsam, frühzeitig mit einer wenigstens rudimentären Indexierung seines Schrifttums zu beginnen, nicht erst dann, wenn einem seine private Sammlung über den Kopf gewachsen ist und wenn sich die Suchfehlschläge häufen und an den Nerven zu zehren beginnen. Die Erinnerung an den Wortlaut der gesuchten Dokumente, worauf man sich anfänglich noch stützen kann, ist nämlich bald verblasst und steht dann nicht mehr als Suchhilfe zur Verfügung. Allerdings wird man für den Eigenbedarf keine derartig ausführliche Einführung in die Theorie und Praxis des Indexierens benötigen, wie sie in diesem Buch geboten wird. Hierfür gibt es andernorts gute Kurzfassungen. Wer dieses Buch als Indexierungsneuling gelesen hat, wird die Indexierungsarbeit und ein Buchregister fortan mit anderen Augen ansehen, nämlich als einen wesentlichen Teil eines Buchs, besonders wenn es sich um ein Nachschlagewerk handelt. Schon eine kurze Einblicknahme in das Buch könnte das Management, einen Verleger oder einen Buchautor davor warnen, all denjenigen Glauben zu schenken, welche behaupten, den Indexer durch ihr vollautomatisches Computerprogramm ersetzen zu können. Das Indexieren umfasst das Übersetzen als einen Teilschritt, nämlich das Übersetzen der Essenz eines Textes oder eines Bildes in eine Indexsprache mit ihrem geregelten Wortschatz. Was man in der Praxis von vollautomatischen Übersetzungen her kennt, selbst von den bisher am weitesten entwickelten Programmen, sollte hier zur Warnung dienen."
