description: This handbook on indexing techniques is intended for three groups of * occasional indexers, such as authors and technical writers, who may be called upon to index their own books;* anyone interested in becoming a professional indexer who is looking for concrete examples or techniques for learning how to index;* librarians who need a review of indexing techniques. In this book you will find explanations of indexing techniques along with examples of each topic discussed. Since it is not an exhaustive study of indexing, the bibliographies at the end of most chapters contain many suggestions for further reading and study. In this third edition of the Handbook, Cynthia Bertelsen has completely revised her four chapters on reference works for indexers. All information in the remaining chapters has also been updated.
