    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
