Society of Indexers

The professional journal of the Society of Indexers, founded in 1958. Hans Wellisch wrote of the journal in 1996: "The Indexer presented its readers with well-balanced fare: not too heavy on the bolts and nuts of the business (an ever-lurking danger in a journal written by professionals for professionals), but covering many different aspects of the art, and providing readers with sometimes unexpected insights or little-known details of the art of indexing as it is practised on many different subjects, in a wide range of media from print to hypertext, and by variegated methods, some of which have emerged only recently yet have been taken up eagerly by indexers on which the outside world is otherwise apt to look as ‘‘harmless drudges,’’ like Dr Johnson’s
dictionary makers."… (mer)
