Australian Society of Indexers Newsletter v.25 n.5 June 2001

‘Website Indexing…provides a timely review of indexing principles, the challenges and history of development of web indexing, and a road test of an html index product. The combination of a narrative approach to indexing plus the demonstration of new software is appealing.’
‘It is a good read and generally well-presented.’

‘This book is a clear, concise introduction to indexing publications, whether for Web or print publication. The materials are presented well and give help to beginning indexers, as well as to more experienced professionals. It is a good tool for librarians who want to index their publications well, and also for those who wish to know how the process works so that they can contract with a professional indexer and know what to expect. This publication would be valuable to librarians, Web designers, book publishers, and to anyone with a project requiring an indexing process.’
