    Abstract
    Wordmanship is a humorous dictionary cum index. Analyzing its structure, considers general aspects of the design of a reference work in relation to its index. Indexers should be consulted at the design stage of reference books, as they may suggest reversal of the primary entries, and the index entries; refine the cross-reference-structure; revise locator notation; and select appropriate typography

    Abstract
    Considers whether, when there is a choice, a back-of-book indexer should use a duplicate entry or a see reference. Guidelines suggest that it is preferable to use the duplicate entry if it would not add to the length or complexity of the index. Studies 1.100 see references in 202 back-of-book indexes and concludes that 22% of the see references should have been replaced by duplicate entries. Failure to select a duplicate entry instead of a see reference occurs most frequently in science and techology books and in indexes with no subheadings

    Abstract
    The indexing of both books and periodicals must fulfill certain basic functions, prescribed by national and international standards. Regarding the requirements of their indexing, verbal texts in the form of books and periodicals form a continuum ranging from books written by a single author (or a small team), books written by multiple authors, encyclopedias, periodical volumes, and articles in periodicals. Problems of indexing policy, indexing language, depth of indexing, author's names, titles, the physical form of indexes, and indexes to single volumes of periodicals and cumulative indexes are discussed. Large bibliographic databases do not use fully automatic indexing systems, which are incapable of fulfilling all basic indexing functions. Rather, they employ teams of indexers supported by automated indexing aids for the execution of clerical tasks, vocabulary control, and other assistance for the intellectual tasks performed by indexers. Electronic journals are unlikely to be indexed because of the instability of their texts. The principal features of verbal texts and their indexes are displayed schematically

    Abstract
    Predicts that the 21st century will offer plenty of opportunities for indexers, whether they work with electronic media of traditional back-of-the-book indexes. Emphasizes the importance of indexes in online documents due in part to their inferior readability compared to that of printed books. Full-text search technology is not a viable substitute for a good index. At the same time the market for printed books will continue to grow. Existing indexing skills will be needed to develop new processes

    Abstract
    A mail survey of 433 authors produced data on the status of the indexers of their books. The collection of reliable data was to determine whether differences are discernable among indexes according to the status who created them

    Abstract
    Examines writings on the subject of back-of-the-book indexing that began to appear towards the end of the 19th century in both the USA and other countries, which gave the impression that such indexes were rare at that time. Considers whether the descriptions they provide are, in fact, accurate ones by looking at the extent to which 19th-century books have been indexed. The research indicates that by the time the writings on the subject of back-of-the-book indexing began to appear, indexes already seem to have become a standard feature at the backs of American books. Suggests explanations for these findings
