- Abstract
- Part of a larger study which aims to: empirically investigate book-index usage, behaviours, and the extent to which specific print index features affect a user's search for information; and to examine these features in an electronic environment and to determine the optimum specifications for indexes in electronic texts by gathering evidence from a controlled user study. Provides an overview of the research project, focusing on a subset of the results from the study of hard-copy book indexes. Describes observable behaviours of a sample of users when consulting different variations of a hard copy book index. Suggests a preliminary model at 3 levels of abstraction repressing users' behaviours when using a book index

- Abstract
- Many back-of-the-book indexers are now taking on projects published on CD-ROM, accessed through a Web site or through internal intranet. Outlines the scope of online indexing and discusses factors affecting the methods used to index online, the index display, and how work will proceed. Considers: the boundaries within which the index will be placed; authoring tools; how the index is displayed; how the indexing gets into the files; the kinds of files included in the project; time schedules; equipment needs; and fees for online projects. Includes a brief list of further readings about indexing online documents

- Abstract
- Second of 2 articles reporting the results of a 1995 questionnaire survey of UK indexers and editors, focusing on work practices, relations between editors and indexers, editors' and editors' expectations, and the value placed on various characteristics of indexers and indexing. Data from 146 indexers and 123 editors was analysed on the following topics: complexity of the index and satisfaction with the index produced; instruction given to indexers; problems with the index; editors' judgement of the acceptability of the index; why the index was remembered; and whether editors would use the indexers again. While a high level of satisfaction with the indexes produced on the part of both editors and indexers was reported, results would seem to indicate that sending written instructions to indexers before the proofs are sent gives the lowest percentage of problems with the finished index. Suggests taht editors should consistently tell indexers of any problems to enable indexers to correct what goes wrong

- Abstract
- Der Fokus dieses Artikels liegt auf der Indexerstellung von Publikationen, d. h. der detaillierten Indexierung der Inhalte von Dokumenten statt der Indexierung auf Dokumentebene, welche sich auf das Gesamtthema von Dokumenten beschränkt. Zu letzterer zählen z. B. das Hauptthema von Artikeln, die Sachkatalogisierung von Büchern oder die Erschließung von Objekten in der Museumsdokumentation. Die Worte Index und Register werden synonym benutzt. Das Wort Index ist nicht nur ein Homonym aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen (z. B. Finanzwesen, Mathematik), sondern auch ein Polysem im Publikationswesen, da es in romanischen Sprachen sowohl Inhaltsverzeichnis als auch Register meinen kann. Während im Finanzwesen, Mathematik u. a. die Pluralform Indizes benutzt wird, ist im bibliographischen Sinn Indexe der korrekte Plural (engl.: indexes), es sei denn, es geht um Indices zu alten Werken in lateinischer Sprache (index rerum, index nominum, index verborum). Etymologie, Bedeutung und Plural des Wortes Index erläutert Wellisch ausführlich.

- Abstract
- As a general medical journal, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) contains a wide range of subject matter, and many types of information need to be incorporated in its semi-annual index, Index Medicus vocabulary can be used for clinical articles, but non-clinical matter presents problems of soft language. A weekly publication, the BMJ runs to about 1.600 pages a volume; so succint indexing is important, as is keeping to schedule. The number of authors and the vagueness of the journal users present particular problems that can be ameliorated by the design of the index. Medicine is a useful adjunct for subject access. Both the journal and the index have changed during a decade in which social and political aspects of medicine have assumed greater importance

- The chapter on indexes in The Chicago Manual of Style serves as a standard for index format and as a self teaching tool for authors and novice indexers. Reviews the 14th ed. for logical sequence, accordance of the guidelines and rules with those of other manuals and authorities, and the quality of its index. It is found wanting in all these areas, but contains much useful information on the indexing process and book index format

- Abstract
- The Index of the Hebrew Daily Press developed from the desire to meet reader's needs, in particular those of secondary school students and college students preparing term papers and small research projects. The Index began in the 1950s with the organisation of a card catalogue of selected articles from journals and newspapers. Discusses the problems in defining and establishing the thesaurus for such a catalogue, the growth, changes and development of the catalogue as a result of cooperative efforts at Tel-Hai Regional College Library and the University of Haifa Library.

- Abstract
- To take full advantage of search facilities, online indexes can be designed with a flat structure in which each index entry is clearly worded and makes use of keywords from the subject matter. Indexers can include additional keywords as synonyms that point to the relevant index entries. When indexers take advantage of these concepts and when index users clearly understand what to expect from online indexes, then the indexs become an extremely powerful retrieval medium

- Abstract
- Reports an experiment, conducted in Mar 95 in the context of a course at the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Montreal, which evaluates the information retrieval capabilities of a manual index and a semi automated index developed according to the Bennion method. The application of a formula developed by Bennion shows that the indexes are almost identical

- Abstract
- In 1998 BIOSIS will introduce a new relational indexing system to provide more specific natural language retrieval for its electronic products. Printed publications will have a redesigned subject index to replace the KWIC index and an organism index, replacing the current generic and biosystematic indexes, will allow hierarchical access to kingdom, family and common genus species names

- Abstract
- The book index occupies a special niche in the information retrieval world. Each index is a unique, authored work. Each book is a closed system. The text presented in a book does not change; the material is stable and fixed. Book indexers provide readers with a nonlinear way to access information in a text. Even though closed-system indexing predates the development of the printing press, a book index can be thought of as hypertext.
