- 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
- The contents of scientific and technical handbooks often needs fast, reliable and precise subject access, even if the searcher is not familiar with the terminology of the book and has not read it beforehand. This requires careful and expert subject indexing in a highly specific indexing vocabulary, as well as the presentation of the resulting index in a lucid, conceptually transparent manner in print and on disk. Index users, when looking up a general subject heading, often ignore the necessity of looking up the appertaining hierarchically subordinate, more specific subject headings, too. They are either not made aware of these subject headings or their use is felt to be too cumbersome. A classifies approach to computerized subject indexing is described which resembles Ranganathan's Classified Catalogue. Through a variety of peculiarities it leads the searcher rapidly and easily to all subject headings related to a primarily chosen one, and to the postings under all these headings

- Abstract
- An index is vital to technical documents, but creating them is often a problem for the writer. There are many kinds: subject, product, program command or function, and others. Writing entries involves decisions about level, key terms synonyms, definitions, cross references and phrasing; format decisions involve horizontal versus vertical spacing, page numbering, capitalization and punctuation

- 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
- 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

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
- 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
- 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
- Consideration of some of the choices for computerization of indexes, including word processing, records administration systems, and text-retrieval packages. Some of the general concepts relating to indexes are also covered, including various approaches to indexing such as subject, word, and hierarchical indexing, and the use of coordinated themes. The options available within each type of computerization of indexing are also specified

- 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
