    Abstract
    We describe Rosetta, an indexing and retrieval system for collections of research papers. Rosetta indexes papers in a collection based on the way they have been described when referenced by other papers in the collection. With this technique, indices for papers describe information provided in the same way a query describes information needed. Using Rosetta, simple natural language queries retrieve high-precision results in which descriptions based on citations clearly summarize retrieved papers; allowing users to quickly determine which papers most closely meet their information needs

    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
    Reports a comparative study carried out at Sheffield University to compare the performance of 2 manual indexes and 3 related online databases in the retrieval of records in the technological subject of: Cathodic protection of concrete structures. The manual sources were: Engineering Index and Current Technology Index; and the online databases were: COMPENDEX, NTIS and SCISEARCH. Performance was measured in terms of relative recall and prescision. While online searches showed some considerable advantages over manual searches, the manual sources showed some considerable advantages over manual searches, the manual sources still manifested some qualities which render them valuable. Emphasizes the selection of databases on the basis of a compromise between high recall and high precision, and ultimately between both of these factors and cost

    Abstract
    The active working life of a freelance indexer can be very long and there is a danger of becoming out of date, particularly if work is always done alone and never in collaboration with others. Emphasizes the importance of continuing professional development (CPD) for freelance indexers and discusses how this can be achieved. Discusses four elements requiring attention: indexing practice, general knowledge, subject knowledge, and equipment. Focuses on new developments in indexing practice concerning the formation of headings and the presentation of entries and describes changes in practice which have taken place during the last 20 years, including: initial capitals for headings; cross-references; filing order; abbreviated forms; Latin abbreviations attached to locators; pages ranges; subheadings; and the terminology of indexing. Suggests ways in which the freelance indexer can avail themselves of opportunities for professional development

    Abstract
    Reports a comparative study carried out at Sheffield University to compare the performance of 2 manual indexes and 3 related online databases in the retrieval of records in the technological subject of: Cathodic protection of concrete structures. The manual sources were: Engineering Index and Current Technology Index; and the online databases were: COMPENDEX, NTIS and SCISEARCH. Performance was measured in terms of relative recall and prescision. While online searches showed some considerable advantages over manual searches, the manual sources showed some considerable advantages over manual searches, the manual sources still manifested some qualities which render them valuable. Emphasizes the selection of databases on the basis of a compromise between high recall and high precision, and ultimately between both of these factors and cost

    Abstract
    Indexers read a book three times when indexing narrative texts. At first they read the text straights through to get to know the whole of the material. Then they proceed to entry making reading in order to reduce the text to its components parts and strands. In the final reading they reunite and assemble the discrete elements in an index order, editing and arranging them

    Abstract
    Postcoordination, in which terms are combined at the searching stage rather than at the time of indexing, has been the main form of database access since the 1950s. Reasons for the failure of postcoordinate searches include the absence of specified relationships between terms, the complexity of formulating Boolean searches, and the high frequency of terms in large databases. Recent writers on indexing electronic text have called for precoordination to enhance the precision of retrieval. Among precoordinate indexing structures, a book index with coined modifications is the most precise. The time and cost associated with such customized analysis will, however, limit its application in the electronic environment

    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.
