    Abstract
    Describes a utility program designed to generate a permuted keyword index from a CDS/ISIS database. The different keywords which are used to describe the subject content of documents are presented together in a string, thus showing the context in which the lead term is used. Indexes can also be generated for any repeatable field, such as author and report number. The string is rotated from left to right to provide an access from each of the terms used. Pascal is the language used and a step by step tutorial is given to create the necessary databases

    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

    Abstract
    Contrasts the practice of 'classified' indexing (i.e. the arrangement of headings into a limited number of hierarchies) with 'specific' indexing (i.e. direct entry under the term chosen for the heading). Defines and gives examples of both practices and considers their application to law book indexing. There is a long tradition of compiling and publishing classified indexes in law books. Argues, however, that specific indexes are a far more effective finding aid and that readers wishing to make a 'classified' type of approach to a law book can usually do so by consulting the contents list or lists

    Abstract
    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
    Gives an overview of a research project which had aimed 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 same features in an electronic environment. Aims to determine the optimum specifications for indexes in electronic texts by gathering evidence from a controlled user study. Presents a subset of results from index use in both print and electronic formats. Suggests a preliminay model representing users' behaviours when using an index and suggests implications for system design

    Abstract
    Describes an effective, simple and efficient algorithm for computer generation of hierarchical indices from Document Term matrices by means of calculating common denominator vectors from the document vector set. This procedure produces an intuitive, user friendly hierarchical index of a document collection not unlike that which would be expected had a manual indexer set about to create an index or outline of a collection. The resulting index, when presented with a graphical user interface, provides the user with a natural easily comprehended view of the document collection, permits general browsing and informal search activities with an access method that requires no keyboard entry or prior knowledge of the vocabulary

    Abstract
    Book Indexing Postal Tutorials (BIPT) is a correspondence course in bach-of-the-book indexing. It is a practical programme of study and involves the creation of mini-indexes to short texts. Discusses some of the difficulties of beginning indexers as evidenced by their work on the set passages. These include: consistency; pulling related entries together into a useful and coherent main entry that includes (or cross-refers to) all relevant references: embedding an entry in sub-entries where the reader is not likely to look for it: double-entering; and a tendency to create indexes full of details but lacking the main subjects. Suggests how these basic indexing principles can be taught

    Abstract
    Presents a summary of 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: subject area covered, number of years working as indexers, hours spent on indexing, ages of indexers, reasons why indexers index, payment for indexing, how editors find and choose indexers and how indexers find work, the relationship between editors and the Society of Indexers, indexers' qualifications and training, qualitites that make a good indexer, editor's opinions of indexers and indexing, important elements in producing a good index, and indexers and computers. discusses areas worthy of further investigation as highlighted by the survey results
