========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Aug 1994 16:32:25 ECT Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Nancy Etheridge Subject: Multiple indexes ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi! folks. I'm new to this area, but I thought i'd put in my 2 cents worth. I have been a legal editor for the past 2.5 years, and have indexed five books so far. I still consider myself a novice, so my comments are more from the point of view of a reader rather than an indexer. Anyway, IMHO, whether there should be multiple indexes depends on a number of factors. First, what does the client want? Very important, especialy if you want to work for this client in the future. Second, what is the general practice in the field? Legal books almost without exception have separate indexes for cases; cookbooks frequently have a separate recipe index. Third, how large is the work being indexed? And how detailed is the index going to be? I'd vote for multiple indexes if the work was large and index very detailed. Fourth, what will be the final format of the book? Will multiple indexes be clearly marked? For example, will the index pages have headers or footers that will distinguish the names index from the general subject index? An index is a tool, and should be as easy for the reader to use as possible. Will it be easier to page through a fifty-page general index or a ten-page names index? Will the reader know there are multiple indexes, either through labeling or past experience with other books in the field? I don't think there is a "right" answer to this problem. The best answer changes depending on the situation.

I work for CEASA (Commercial Economic Advisory Service of Australia), a small publishing and research company in St Leonards, Sydney, Australia. We are planning electronic publishing of a statistics quarterly in the next year or so. Please give info re type of computer (PC 386/486) and system (MSDOS/Windows) too please. We are currently using PageMaker to do the layout of the publication. Can you explain Zyindex being an electronic concordance? Does that mean it has a single alphabetic index? Organising the info to better fit the index sounds like a good idea, given that most info is hard to understand out of context. Cheers, Dwight Walker dwalker@ozemail.com.au CEASA fax: 61-2-4383729, voice: 61-2-4393750 PO Box 104, St Leonards, NSW, Australia 2065 Reply to message text: ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Zyindex is an example of a program which creates an electric "concordance" with pointers into the document files. Other programs, such as Folio VIEWS, pull in the text and allow you to organize, display, and otherwise manipulate it as well as build a the word index. I can supply you with much more info if you want. Folio is in use by many commercial publishers to publish electronically and by organizations for in-house applications. ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Aug 1994 16:34:16 ECT Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: HairyLarry@aol.com Subject: Separate Name and Subj. Indexes ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- In a previous post Maryann Corbett wrote, in part... >Let's keep finding out how more of us react to these things, so that we can figure out > how to design and do the research about it. A bit of research HAS been done about it, and now I would like to give the source for my opinion, previously stated here, that separate name and subject indexes can confuse many users. In the Proceedings of the 25th Annual Meeting of ASI is a paper entitled "Information Access" by Elizabeth D. Liddy and Corinne L. Jorgensen of the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University. It presents preliminary results of a study of users attempting to find information in a book using printed indexes. The subjects of the study included undergraduates and graduate students at Syracuse. I do not wish to falsely characterize their preliminary conclusions, so I will quote a couple of paragraphs from section 4.B of their paper, where they discuss the results of their study of separate Subject and Name/Title indexes. "It is often stated that indexers must consider the typical user of an index; a divided index may be more appropriate for a more sophisticated audience or one with specialized needs. Looking a little more closely at the individual searches is instructive here. The subjects in the group of five who used the divided index included two M.L.S. students (one of whom holds a Ph.D. in another subject), one of whom did not discover the divided index, and one of whom did not expect there to be one. The other three subjects were undergraduates, who generally exhibited confusion and frustration when using the divided index variation. Of the six undergraduate searches, two answers were found but not by using the index, two were unsuccessful, and one subject discovered the divided index by accident. This should indicate that once again indexers should proceed with caution in making assumptions about the intended audience for a particular book. "These results would seem to indicate that providing a divided index has the potential to seriously affect the retrieval of information. While a divided index may be more convenient once its presence is recognized (and was appreciated by subjects as being 'efficient' once it was discovered), there seems to be a danger that a large number of users will not discover the second index. Techniques widely used to guide the user to the second index are not consistently successful, and it may be necessary to provide pointers to the second index at each location necessary, which could create an unwieldy index. Further exploration of this question is necessary, but indexers should proceed with caution when deciding to create a divided index." These researchers certainly do not conclude that divided indexes are never justified, but their work sheds light on the subject and perhaps is cause for some serious second thoughts about this practice.

It is interesting that this topic should come up right now: I have just read a very helpful article by Virgil Diodato (an indexing professor at UW-Milwaukee) entitled "User Preferences for Features in Back of Book Indexes" (Journal of the American Society for Information Science, vol. 45 (7), Aug. 1994, pp. 529-536). This is an excellent article in that it confirms that there is little out there on the topic, reviews related literature and standards, and then gives us some study results that begin the process of creating just such a body of knowledge. Professor Diodato reports on 255 index users' preferences for (1) type of alphabetization, (2) format of subheadings, and (3) use of "see" and "see also" references versus multiple entries. (It doesn't cover number of indexes, but perhaps another study has or will?) The index users surveyed were a group of librarians and college professors. The results are broken out by the two groups also. This article is succinct, easy to understand, and *finally* something we can hang our hats on when deciding on (or convincing others of) the best way to do a particular index, at least in cases where the primary users of the index will be librarians and/or professors. I, for one, am greatly appreciate of Professor Diodato's effort, and I am sure others will be too! Lisa Guedea W5527 Highway 106 P.O.

So to ship/port/copy the Zyindex files and have them usable you have to ship... the files they are "indexing". And the files must end up with the same DOS path to be accessible. Thus, this method is fine for local/personal type requirements but not for publication/dissemination situations. Folio sucks in the data and builds the indexing to the text into an infobase (Folio's term) so that you can easily transport the whole. It is available for DOS, Windows, and Mac. The infobase format is platform independent, but you would need different viewers. That is, you build, or author, the infobase on one platform and then you can distribute it to other platforms with the appropriate viewer software. There are various filters for importing files from word processors and desktop publishing systems. Depending on your end needs, you might find Adobe's Acrobat as another, though lower level, choice. It is not very robust for searching but it allows you to "print" right from your DTP to Acrobat which traps the page images in special postscripts files. Again these can be distributed with the appropriate cheap viewer. Usually the end user buys the viewer in this scenario whereas with Folio the publisher usually bundles the viewer. Folio is available (the US office tells me) from ScanText in Sydney, phone 261 4511. I hope that helps. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 Aug 1994 13:38:40 ECT Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Cyril Weinkove - Hope Hospital Subject: Multiple indexes ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- re: separate name & subj. idxs? I have been enjoying the discussion on this subject, but so far no- one has mentioned the problem of separate Species and Subject indexes in biological books. I have been asked to compile these several times over the years but have always managed to persuade the author or publisher's editor that they were not a good idea - until recently.... The author of a book on Bacterial Systematics insisted on separate Organisms and Subject indexes. The Organisms index was to contain all references to bacteria and groups of bacteria under their scientific names and the Subject index everything else. This sounded fairly straightforward until I realised that some bacteria have common names and scientific names, so that for example, Streptococci and STREPTOCOCCUS; Actinomycetes and ACTINOMYCES; Mycobacteria and MYCOBACTERIUM are separated. Pneumococcus is the common name for STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE, so I had to put all the references to this bacterium under STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE with a See reference in the form: Pneumococcus See STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE (Organisms Index). I did the indexes as he requested - but I'm convinced that this arrangement would have involved the index user in much tooing and froing between indexes. The argument for separate indexes in these cases is that subject entries would be swamped by large numbers of scientific names. However it is the convention to print scientific names in italics (which I can't here), so it is quite easy to pick out different types of entries by eye. I would be interested to hear any further comments.

When the auto style for main headings is set to bold, how can you selectively turn OFF the bold for an individual heading? Example: In the index I'm working on, all headings are bold, EXCEPT that for cross references, the heading not used (left side of the see reference) needs to be plain text, while the preferred heading (right side) has to be bold [which is set thru FORMAT]. Should end up as: Heart \isee\I \bMyocardium\B Is there any way to do this, other than running the final index thru a word processor and changing the formatting manually? I've tried using \p...\P and get error msgs. 2. Is there any way to copy individual entries from one open index to another? The DUPLICATE command will work for groups; but I simply want to copy an individual author entry (containing full article title and inclusive page references) over to the subject index (which I work on simultaneously) and edit it with subject headings replacing the author name. In other words, copy/paste! I'm not interested in debating the virtues of single vs multiple indexes or simpler formatting; this is a journal index with a long-established format. I'd just like to know how to get CINDEX to do what I need. I think I saw a msg from Francis Lennie on INDEX-L a while back, and would appreciate a response online if she's out there, since I think the answers would be of interest to all CINDEX users. (And I'll make a long distance phone call if all else fails.) Otherwise, all suggestions welcome!

The topic is"Getting Started! Getting Work!" and all indexers, no matter what their experience or success in getting work are invited to attend and share their questions and experiences. Marilyn Rowland, a freelance indexer with many years' experience, will lead the discussion. Refreshments will be served, and attendees will be invited to meet for lunch following the meeting. We will also continue discussion of the formation of the MA chapter of the American Society of Indexers and discuss the indexing project planned for our next meeting, October 15, 1994.

We resell and support Cindex to commercial accounts for Indexing Research. Response to your first question: There is no way to "defeat" the auto style. As you found out there are no \p or \P codes. One way to approach doing this within Cindex is to stop using auto style. Then type all your entries. Using a global replacement, put the bold coding (\b...\B) around your main headings. Build a group of all cross references. While viewing the group globally remove all the bold coding in the main headings. Response to your second question: the Duplicate command does not act on groups, but does act on ranges of records specified by number or heading structure. However, a range can be a single entry. While in the author index do: DUP/INDEX=SUBJ 345 if record #345 is the one you want to place into the subject index. I hope this helps. Please feel free to pose other questions. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 Aug 1994 14:56:31 ECT Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: JULIUS ARIAIL Subject: Index-L gopherized archives ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The Georgia Southern University gopher is undergoing some reorganization, and the Index-L archives are now located in this directory path: /Georgia Southern University/Henderson Library/Assistance to Professional...
