Many of my old utilities, such as an old version of the Norton Utilities, will not run under Windows or they generate error messages. My indexing program will run only in an enfeebled way, and much slower than it ran on my old 80286-based computer. Also, why does Rhoades say that "few organizations selling & installing computers know how to properly configure Windows 98"? Why should it be so hard to install an operating system on a microcomputer? Frankly, I wish I could live totally without Windows, but thanks to Microsoft's monopoly, I'm stuck with it. However, I have a dual-boot system, so when I work, I just boot up in PC-DOS and ignore Windows. >> More power to Elliot for making the dual boot work. (And I mean that -- it is not something which everyone can set up and I don't know of any manufacturer which offers a dual boot.) Dual booting is indeed an ideal solution for anyone who needs software for which Windows 95/98 cannot be configured. I don't know which indexing program Elliot is using -- except that it is NOT Macrex but I am quite sure that if he could find someone who has taken the time to learn how Windows 95 (or 98) functions -- bugs and aggravations included -- that he'd find that his software would run better on the 32-bit platform than it ever ran under MS-DOS. (And, of course, if all were right, it wouldn't be necessary to learn the ins and outs of an operating system in order to get your applications to work.) I would NEVER expect utilities (Elliot's RAM disks and Norton Utilities are excellent examples) to run on a platform other than that for which they were designed. But I wasn't talking about disk managment tools -- I was talking about applications, indexing software to be specific. Both Cindex and Macrex do just fine on a properly configured Win95/98 computer until you want to print with one of the new color or laser printers. And Macrex has been a champ at taking input via voice recognition for several years. Sure, with a 32-bit application (such as Macrex 7) you get many new options which can shave hours off of the task of creating an index and I firmly believe that everyone should upgrade to the latest version -- purely selfish on my part as it greatly simplifies providing support -- but that doesn't mean everyone is in a position to upgrade. There are many people still using Macrex 4.x and 5.x -- remember the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" It is quite true, especially for the standard BOB index. Without the Y2K situation, and certainly without the Internet, I suspect that many more people would still be using the DOS applications with which they completely comfortable and skilled. Nothing aggravates me more than companies such as Compaq and IBM, to name two, which modify Windows 95 and 98 to make running a DOS application a challenge beyond the skills of a better-than-average user. But this has become a common procedure for many manufacturers and many "clone" shops as well. And if you have a good reason to buy one of these systems, do so with the knowledge that your DOS days have passed into history. Now, before anyone gets carried away and makes the leap that I am a fan of Billy Gates and his monopoly, let me make my position absolutely clear. If Microsoft could write a decent operating system we wouldn't be having this discussion. And if IBM (or Apple, for that matter) had taken advantage of some of the openings offered by Microsoft, we'd almost certainly have a reliable operating system today. I still have several CP/M computers (and word processing, spreadsheet, database and Macrex for them so that I could do better than 90% of my computer functions sitting on a houseboat up the river from the Lake Shasta dam with a computer more than 18 years old) and often wish for those simpler days. IBM foisted a great scam on the computer-buying public back in 1983 when they said they would end compatibility problems forever. What a laugh! And Microsoft, the dear friend of all computer users, only makes it so very much worse -- so bad that its application divisions (the one writing the Microsoft Office suite, for example) are completely unable to release a product which is within a light year of being bug-free. I wrote yesterday's e-mail because I hate to see users frightened into buying more than they need. I have always been willing to help indexers sort out problems with their computers. I prefer to help Macrex users but as many here on this list can testify, I don't check credentials before I take a "look". Sometimes I can't do a thing -- the indexer is too far away for a office/house visit and the puzzle too complicated for remote tending. But usually I can at least suggest where to look or what to ask. And often I can dictate specific modifications (other than booting with the recovery CD -- truly a LAST resort rather than the starting place, no matter what Gateway and H-P techs might say). In closing, I challenge anyone to show me a core DOS application which does not perform better (except, as stated previously, for printing with newer printers) on a properly configured Windows system than it did under MS-DOS. I don't claim this will always be the case -- but I don't see Microsoft releasing a replacement for Windows 98 anytime soon. (Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus but he is NOT bringing Windows 2000 to a computer near you! At least not for the majority of indexers -- and other non-networked users.)

I have been using them since they came out, was the proud owner of a Mac Plus, and have continued to own and operate them up to this day. Our installation of system 8 was one of the worst nightmares I have ever had, and it was only after I checked on the web (on my pc happily running win 95) that I found many folks recommending against that installation. I have refused to participate in the Mac vs. Pc love/hate debate, because I know both their operating innerds intimately, and they are both equally prone to problems. At this point we have two macs running, one a G3, neither of which runs without problems. They crash. They crash just as much as PCs do. In fact, I think my PC is much more reliable at this point. Neither platform is particularly stable, especially when you start adding software, upgrading to new versions of existing software, and introduce anything new. Eventually you run into software conflicts. It is the nature of the beast - no company tests their products on all possible configurations with all possible other software with all possible add-ons or cards installed - it's impossible for them to do so. So eventually you introduce something that makes things crash. In most cases, it seems to be related to multimedia stuff and internet PPP and TCP/IP drivers on our macs, which are required for my husband's job. Perhaps if you stay away from messing with those things, you can run stably. But don't make the mistake of thinking macs are inherently more stable. They aren't. Nothing is. Maybe Linux is, but my clients demand I work in Mac and Windows, so that isn't an option for me.

A CD-ROM is just another place you can store files, like your computer's hard disk, a 3.5" diskette, a Zip or Jaz cartridge, a tape cartridge, or any of the other media you can think of. A CD-ROM can contain any kind of files you care to put onto it: images, text files, Word and Framemaker documents, HTML pages, audio files, and so on. If the creators of the CD-ROM's content decide to present that content using simple web browsers, the CD-ROM may contain mostly HTML, GIF, and JPEG files. On the other hand, if the information was already in those formats, that may drive a decision to use web browsers as the presentation tool.

It worked just fine, and computers were a lot slower then! I now use Virtual PC with Windows 95 for several Windows-only (non-indexing) tasks, and it is even better and more completely compatible than SoftWindows of years ago, so I feel confident that you will have no problems with this setup. The only other point I would make is that it is even better to use a native Mac program for indexing. CINDEX for Mac is my current indexing program, and I couldn't be happier with the performance or the support. Don't rule out changing indexing programs as you emerge into the Redmond-free fresh air of "thinking different."

I never try to (seriously) convince someone to change platforms, but if someone has made the decision or is asking for information, I am quick to offer assistance. The reasons for preferring one platform over another can be personal, and configurations, models, and applications do change things dramatically. All discussion of the pros and cons of such decisions should be automatically prefaced with "IMHO" or "in my experience." No one has all the answers. The complexity of computers has been an ever-growing problem, as Jan says. The impact falls disproportionately on non-technical users, so it is very relevant to most indexers. I won't defend the quality of the first release of Mac OS 8, if installed as an upgrade. Your results depended on what you had installed before and your configuration, just as with Windows 95 and 98. In my experience, subsequent Mac OS upgrades have been much more smooth than that one. Concerning Christine Keck's decision: in my opinion, any non-technical Windows user would be well-advised to postpone or avoid moving to Windows 2000 for as long as possible, due to the tremendous complexity of the system and (therefore) the anticipated problems with it, so I consider her decision to buy a Mac somewhat drastic, but very well-timed. :-) Regards, Larry Harrison Co-Webmaster American Society of Indexers http://www.asindexing.org/ and Secretary/Treasurer, Twin Cities Chapter [please remove NOSPAM to email me directly] ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 8 Dec 1999 10:03:18 -0700 Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: "Jan C.

I used to troubleshoot the Macs in the Documentation Department at Aldus when I worked there, trying to keep them all running so we could get books out the door. The most problem-prone machines were the ones where the users had installed all kinds of gewgaws, games, and downloaded stuff. We had to come up with a strict configuration of fonts, drivers, and applications that people had to stick to, because putting untested knickknacks, cool things, and new untested stuff could bring a machine down, and therefore cost us all in down time. No one had time to figure out why you were producing corrupted files, because some new game had done something. That's why I think multimedia is so prone to introduce problems - there are often little add-ons or startup programs that are required for a program to run that seem to interfere with other programs. This version of Quicktime doesn't work with that version of something else, while this thing over here requires a different version of Quicktime. This one doesn't work if you have ATM turned on. Yagh. We have two startup-configurations on the Macs to allow us to customize what loads and what doesn't. I hate it, because I am always ready to start doing something that requires a different configuration, and I have to reboot. Rebooting a G3 takes years......

I would go so far as to say that a slow and cautious approach only delays the inevitable. The only way to enjoy trouble-free computing is to start clean, install a minimum number of applications, then never change anything. I went through a phase several years ago when I was downloading a lot of stuff and found my Windows 95 environment totally corrupted in about a year. I started over with a resolve to minimize installs and uninstalls. I got two years under that plan. I have an old 486 that I relegated to my wife. It has Word 95 on it and she pretty much uses it as a typewriter. Nothing has been installed or uninstalled since the day I gave it to her. In four years it has never hung, never crashed, never shown a Blue Screen of Death. I fully understand the complexities of computer systems. I appreciate that incompatabilities are eventually going to cause problems. What frosts my cookies is that the $%^&** things aren't *marketed* as being so fragile. Every time I see a Microsoft ad that asks "Where do you want to go today?" I want to scream: "Anywhere, just so I get there in one piece."

Usability tests of the Washington State University Libraries' online public access catalog, Article indexes, Full Text and other library catalogs revealed problem areas.

The one thing that I think most people assume, and I believe is a bad assumption, is that when your Windows computer crashes, it is *because* of Windows. Although Windows is not without any flaws. I suspect that most crashes occur because of an ill behaved program and Windows is simply the Messenger. The truth is, I believe, Windows normally prevents a crash (of the operating system) and what you are getting is a notice that a program has performed an operation that is illegal and that Windows is ending that program's operation. Windows continues to operate normally despite the ill behaved program. That is what normally happens on my Windows 98 computer. It is rare that I have to reboot. I admit that Windows can, itself, crash, but I truly suspect that the vast majority of problems people encounter are not with Windows itself, but with programs or drivers installed on the computer. In many cases the program that crashes is not to blame, but a driver such as a Printer driver or Display driver has operated incorrectly. The more *utilities* you add to your system, the greater your chance of such problems. I would like to also say that I agree VERY strongly with the KISS (Keep It Simple Silly) principle. Don't install programs or utilities that are not absolutely needed. I have learned to never install "operating system enhancement" utilities since I've found they are the most likely to cause problems. In fact, although I own and use Virus detection software, I do not set it up to run in the background while I use the computer. I use it once in awhile to ensure I do not have a virus (to date I have never had one) and I make sure that my backup procedure is sufficient that I can never loose more than a days work. That is much less than the time I suspect I would loose because of potential system related crashes and problems if I ran the anti-virus software in the background all of the time. If nothing else, anti-virus software *has* to slow your computer down when run in the background because it has to inspect every file that is used to ensure there is no virus. That takes CPU time. My two cents. By the way, I believe all of the above is true of Mac related problems too.

Needless to say, the above comment set me back a little. I have just had two telephone conversations with Compaq tech personnel. Neither of them is aware of anything they do which might make DOS applications difficult and are a tad upset at Gale's sweeping generalizations. While I use Macrex and have had some problems with it, it has been running trouble-free since May. I am careful to shut down eveything else that is running when I run Macrex (except Windows) which seems to have stopped the random data-loss problems I was experiencing earlier. The tech people also assured me that with 64 RAM or above, I will be able to run additional applications while using Macrex. They claim not to do any modification of any Windows products at their end and are somewhat dismayed at reports that they do.

I have had to reboot quite often. Most of the problems are conflicts with Windows 98 operating system programs, and not the software that is installed. I have especially had problems with my system configuration files. I haven't installed any "new" software, and don't have any virus programs running. No weird screen savers, haven't converted my files to FAT32, and don't play graphic-intense games...so why doesn't it work? I dunno. I've made quite a few calls and done quite a few searches in the Windows help sites, and no one has been able really help. > I admit that Windows can, itself, crash, but I truly suspect > that the vast majority of problems people encounter are not > with Windows itself, but with programs or drivers installed on > the computer.

I can only speak from personal experience, and I can tell you that when I installed my Win98 over my Win95, I had FAR more problems than with 95..because of the "updated" drivers for my modem, my printers and my scanner. But this WAS the fault (if you can call it that) of Windows 98--because the drivers would not have changed unless I had upgraded! Before I got it working totally, without problems, I had to find at least three patches to "fix" the updated drivers. I found them all on Microsoft's Win98 website--so they appeared to be "planned for" conflicts. > I would like to also say that I agree VERY strongly with the > KISS (Keep It Simple Silly) principle.

There really is no need for constant checking of your entire computer's files, if there hasn't been any "new" stuff introduced. -- CK, or as they say in Spain, "Yes, what?"

:-) Heh...thank you, Larry! My decision has been very long in the making. I've wanted a Mac for years, but haven't had the real "need" for it, until I decided to go into business as a pro indexer. Now I want the best system I can buy, and after researching both PCs AND Macs, I decided on the Mac for a lot of reasons, including the increased speed, and graphics handling, and also the (sorry PC owners,) better track record in reliability. Just as an example: I own a Mac SE. Tiny little thing, could fit into my purse. It isn't used for anything serious, it doesn't have the hard drive space. But I use this computer and it is ALMOST as fast as my PC. And this computer is nearly 12 years old! If Macs were running this well and this reliably and this FAST 12 years ago, and can STILL be used for word processing, then I think they are a pretty good deal. I'm not encouraging anyone to change platforms either, only offering my opinion, as is everyone else. Sometimes we forget that there is more than one way to do something. My research and my own desires make a Mac a good choice for me--but it wouldn't be for everyone. And we all have to make the decision that is right for US as individuals.

Subject: Re: Windows/DOS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="x-user-defined" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I too as a programmer (not an indexer) have been staying out of this discussion. It has amazed me at the amount bashing if not vitriol that has been heaped on Bill Gates. Not that I'm defending all of MS's business practices but without DOS and Windows the computer revolution would not have occurred. Only by having a near universally-used, de facto operating system could the industry and productivity grow to the level it has. I spent many years working on mainframes none of which shares the same character sizes nor sets (note recent discussion of Mac to PC file transfers caused because these two don't share the same ANSI character sets). The problems with communicating with other systems and passing information was daunting. Maybe its ironic because I'm a programmer but I have very few crashes of Win 98 nor NT. I do have problems from time to time and have to call tech support for new applications. I have lost count of the number of apps I have on the machines to do work for all the clients I have but I'm sure its more than most indexers have and my systems run fine. I have no explanations for the problems people have and I'm not a systems expert but it isn't just Windows itself. I'm sure if MacOS ran on all sorts of vendors machines there'd be more problems noted with it too.

Linux is an operating system that has absolutely no connection with Windows, DOS or NT (or Macintosh for that matter) and you can run it on any Intel-based pc. That's revolutionary, as is the fact that it's almost free. It looks a *lot* like UNIX, though for copyright reasons you shouldn't call it 'UNIX for the pc'. Linux has been developed over the last several years by an international group of enthusiasts. Its developers have released it as Open Source code, and it can't be sold. Companies can charge a modest amount for distributing Linux, and anyone is free to write commercial applications for it. But Linux itself is in the public domain, or close to. Linux is often perceived as a rival to NT-server. It runs networks as well as the Microsoft application, arguably needing less powerful hardware to do the same job, and anecdotally more reliable than NT. And certainly for much less money. That's what probably bothers Mr Gates most about Linux. But you can also use Linux to do regular pc tasks, as I'm now doing. My computer is partitioned between Windows 98 and Linux, and partitioning a hard drive is something that you say a couple of prayers before doing, commercial partitioning program or no. Communication between Linux and Windows? You got this message, didn't you? And who knows what computers it went through on its way between me and you. UNIX, NT, perhaps even Linux? My Linux also reads DOS floppies, which is nice. Linux usually comes with either or both of two graphic interfaces (software packages that put up a Windows-like desktop) - KDE or Gnome. I'm running KDE, and I have no direct experience of Gnome. Nestcape and Word Perfect both came with my distribution of Linux, as did StarOffice. There are many other commercial applications available. I don't know of any indexing software for Linux, but that might be coming too. Many new Linux users have difficulty getting their existing printers to work with it. Too many printers have proprietary, or undocumented, connections with Windows, and are difficult to make work properly otherwise. My general opinion of Linux for the home user is - wait another year or so. Installing Linux is a little more than you should expect of someone who picks up a computer at Circuit City, brings it home and (very legitimately) expects it to work, right out of the box, manual still in shrink-wrap. Remember the personal computer experience back in the early eighties... But give it time. Likewise the KDE desktop environment would look a bit rough to anyone who is used to Windows. Again, give it a little time, and another major version or two. Two prominent distributers of Linux are Caldera http://www.calderasystems.com (where I got mine) and Red Hat http://www.redhat.com Tony Davies > I've been intrigued by the discussion of late concerning DOS and > Windows.

Maybe the idea that this person was up to no good was percolating somewhere deep in my subconscious after the thread on what scholarly publishers were discussing among themselves about rates....

OTOH, do I give out too much information about myself over the phone? Act too friendly? At some point, I will HAVE to tell the author or editor what I am going to charge them! I'll have to be a little bit personable or I'll come off as unapproachable and perhaps intractable too. Maybe a caller is ringing me up just to find out HOW I market myself.

If they use my wording verbatim, I'll never know, but I won't worry about that! A person who can't think up their own lines is going to have a lot of difficulty indexing most of the stuff I work on.

But, many newspapers actually have disclaimers at the beginning of their employment sections. They do not guarantee their employment listings truly exist. There is even LESS governance on listservs, IN GENERAL (no offense meant to the current listowner), to ensure the jobs are bonified positions and NOT "fishing expeditions." For this reason, it's natural to question certain positions, especially ones to blind ads in newspapers, job boards, and yes, listservs. While some might suggest this wasn't a blind ad, so to speak, it WAS half-blind. This email invoked a more cautious approach for several reasons. (1) Email protocol states that when you want an EMAIL RESPONSE, you put your email address after your name (it's not considered polite to force the respondent to return to the top of the email to see where to respond). It wasn't there, which in email protocol isn't quite professional. (2) In addition, no company telephone number or address was posted as PART of the SIG. While responses might have been requested to the email address, not revealing this information looks suspicious. Only the name was given. That made the ad half-blind. Add to this the fact there isn't a listing for BKP in the Writer's Market 2000. Also compound the factor that my 2 year-old LMP doesn't have a listing under any of the various publishing listings or in the Geographic Index. Is the company for real??? (3) Finally, the email addy itself was NOT within the BKP company domain. It was a personal email address. These reasons prompted my phone call to BKP to confirm the job posting as bonified. (I found them through a web search.) Too many suspicious looking things. Most people may not have paid any attention to these irregularities or details. These things ***when combined with the response I received from the company,*** set far too many alarms off. No alarms may have been going off in anyone else's head, but my eye for details notices certain things. If the email was misdirected, ah well. So were a few others.

Freedom of expression? If somebody wants to be suspicious, let them be. She's suspicious? That's fine. The other one doesn't like it. That's OK too. This is a listserve. All members can post. Nobody is right. And nobody should be putting anybody else's feelings/opinions down. It makes me want to sign off the listserve if every posting is a "he said/she said" kind of thing. It serves absolutely no purpose. Please -- take your fights off the list after a certain point, and spare the rest of us! What is the world is gained by constantly trying to be right?

For instance, the first release of Windows 98 is reputed (so my husband, the programmer/sys-admin, says) to be buggy as all get-out. He refused to upgrade to Win98 when it came out, for precisely that reason. The second release is apparently better: less inclined to hang up, less inclined to crash, etc. That doesn't mean it's perfect, but it is, supposedly, better than its predecessor of the same name. So while the amount of "stuff" you load onto your system certainly has some impact on the way your system runs, the problems some people are experiencing may also have to do with which version and which release of that version is installed on their system. (I'm no expert, so if I've gotten something wrong in here, chalk it up to my lack of computer savvy, not his! Incidentally, my husband is now ready to think about upgrading to Windows 98. We had a similar problems with Windows 3.1, as well; the one on the desktop was a lot buggier than the one on the newer laptop, so we upgraded the desktop to the later release of Win3.1. Made a big difference.)

(Larry, nice to know there's someone else out there using VPC!) I have a Mac G3 with Virtual Pc running Windows 98. When I started the USDA course, I wanted to try out all of the indexing programs, and not just use Cindex because it was the only major one available for Macs. (I know HyperIndex is out there, but I haven't been able to find a demo.) On my computer with my setup, I had problems running Macrex - which could be, as gale said, because of how Windows 98 was installed. Given that it's presumably a lobotomized version that gets installed (280 kb), you don't get a lot of lee-way indeciding what to do with it. SKYIndex works well, though I did initially have problems creating output fileswhich could be read by the wordprocessing program in the Mac environment - even though they were RTF files. Kamm helped me get that straightened out, and now I have no problems with moving files back and forth. On a somewhat unrelated note - I recently downloaded TraxTime to run on my Virtual PC to monitor my time usage while indexing. There are problems with using it in that environment, and, unfortunately, their tech support decided the best advice they could give me was to not use it. If someone knows of a comparable program for the Mac, I'd love to hear about it! My $0.02 worth. Hope it's useful. -Erin Hartshorn ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1999 13:36:24 -0600 Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: quaker1 Subject: Re: Usability studies MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What's going on right now is deadlines and Christmas preparations, at least on my part.

If you will think back to the days of Windows 3.0 and 3.1, you will remember that Windows was a program that you ran *after* you had started your computer and loaded DOS. All DOS gave you to work with was a big black screen, eighty characters wide, no graphics and a little prompt at the bottom, saying C:> or something. You started programs by typing in a command next to that prompt. If all you had was DOS, and you typed , for instance C:> wolf3d you got the excellent DOS-based, but very graphical, game Castle Wolfenstein, on which I have wasted quite a few evenings of my mis-spent middle age. And when you felt you must at last do some work, you had to quit Wolfenstein, and type C:> wp in order to bring up Word Perfect. Came Win3x, and you could now type C:> win which would bring up Windows. You could launch other programs from Windows, and they would all run on the computer simultaneously, kind of. But most people didn't bother to start Windows as a separate step when they booted their pc. They simply put the command C:> win in their autoexec.bat file, Windows started automatically, and they forgot all about DOS until something crashed. Win3x was really the mother of all DOS shells, a DOS shell being a program that you ran after starting DOS, to protect you from the unfriendly demands of the DOS command prompt. There were other DOS shells. I still miss Norton Commander, for instance. The reason for the history lesson is that you can think of KDE and Gnome as doing for Linux what Win3x did for DOS. No KDE, and a Linux command prompt stares at you. Start KDE, you have a graphical environment with windows, icons, web browsers, graphic file trees, the whole experience, and you're ready to party. KDE stands for "K Desktop Environment." K doesn't stand for anything. The development group just picked a letter that wasn't being used for much else. More info at http://www.kde.org As I said, I have no first-hand experience of Gnome. I agree, UNIX is obscure - and until the advent of Linux the only was to learn by playing was to get access to the command prompt of a UNIX computer, somewhere on a network. Now Linux allows the UNIX wannabee to build a home sandbox. But why would you want to learn UNIX? Me, I'm in the computer business, and UNIX is part of my job. If you are involved with a web site, you would probably want to know something about how UNIX directories and security work, if only to know what to expect when files are moved to the web server. But for the person who is mostly concerned with writing indexes, I don't see an immediate need. Can the collective wisdom set me straight here? Back to Linux. Right now, I wouldn't recommend running it on a home computer unless you have at least a small knowledge of UNIX, or unless your dislike of Bill Gates goes way beyond what's healthy. But as I said, check back in a year or so.

So please forgive me if I break some posting rules! I'm an MLIS graduate from Canada. I've been indexing images (with Archive Impact) for a while now. But after getting a job offer as a reference librarian in an academic library, I though it would be a good idea to get some work experience and introduce myself to the librarian community. To make a short story long, I miss indexing like crazy! So much so that I am seriously considering not renewing my contract next fall and going into indexing full time. Now all I've done so far is image indexing, but I'd like to complement that with back-of-the-book indexing. I've volunteered to index a cookbook published by my university (fundraising ploy) to get my feet wet, but even though I have a basic classification & indexing course, I don't feel ready to attack back-of-the-book indexing. That said, I'm thinking of taking an online course next term to prepare myself. I've been reading about this USDA course on the list, and I was wondering if someone could send along a URL I could go to for more information on this course (assuming it's given online).

The Society of Indexers (British) runs a course. You can find information on this and other courses at the Society's web site, www.socind.demon.co.uk/trainSI.htm. The American Society of Indexers' web site contains more information on the USDA course (among others)--see www.asindexing.org/courses.htm. There are no formal, ongoing courses devoted to back-of-the-book indexing in Canada, although some of us have taught longer or shorter courses through such agencies as community colleges and the Editors' Association of Canada. As a reference librarian, you will know how to keep an eye out for such information.

Mary's objection to using tildes instead of en dashes as concatenators for page ranges spanning noncontinuous discussions made me stop and reconsider, and then I discovered another objection: tildes used in this way are subject to being misinterpreted as indicating approximate page range lengths. Still intrigued by Peter's use of a different concatenator, I started considering other options. I considered ellipses but rejected them because they're used for excluding rather than including bounded material. Then in the shower an "ah ha" came forth: double hyphens would indicate not only the inclusiveness but also the discontinuity of page ranges spanning noncontinuous discussions -- and they could be used for the shorter ranges of noncontinuous discussions like 11--13 with which some of us prefer to simplify lists of successive individual page numbers like 11, 12, 13 , as well as for the longer ranges of noncontinuous discussions for which _passim_ is typically used. Ten days later I'm still taken with this idea so I'm passing it on to all of you to see what you think of it, if anything. Regarding Mary's objection to tildes, I should think double hyphens would be noticable for nearsighted readers because they are divided and somewhat longer than en dashes (without being too long to work well as concatenators). Regarding Janet's concern about our indexing software not being able to handle alternative page range concatenators, I don't see this as a problem. For now we can handle it pretty easily by marking page ranges spanning noncontinuous discussions with some unique annotation, and then using this marking to change the concatenators for these ranges in our word processors, with or without the use of macros. Any reactions?

I am not too up on my biblical leaders so I am afraid of looking really stupid if I query my editor but I am not afraid of looking stupid to all of you first. So, I'm working on chapter on Paul (first two chaps were Moses and David). So we're reading about Paul, about Paul, about Paul, and then all of a sudden now it's Saul and he's blinded by the light. Then a few paras later, we're back to Paul, and he's recovering his vision. So is this an error and Saul is really Paul? Or did Saul also get stricken blind but then Paul recovers? Isn't Saul Old Testament? Or is there a blind Saul in the New T as well? Is it Saul or is it Paul? Where can I get a quickie course on the Bible? (Just kidding.) I have a feeling I'm going to be asking other similar questions before I'm done with this book.

Hello all, This is my first posting, although I have been following the list for some months now... So please forgive me if I break some posting rules! I'm an MLIS graduate from Canada. I've been indexing images (with Archive Impact) for a while now. But after getting a job offer as a reference librarian in an academic library, I though it would be a good idea to get some work experience and introduce myself to the librarian community. To make a short story long, I miss indexing like crazy! So much so that I am seriously considering not renewing my contract next fall and going into indexing full time. Now all I've done so far is image indexing, but I'd like to complement that with back-of-the-book indexing. I've volunteered to index a cookbook published by my university (fundraising ploy) to get my feet wet, but even though I have a basic classification & indexing course, I don't feel ready to attack back-of-the-book indexing. That said, I'm thinking of taking an online course next term to prepare myself. I've been reading about this USDA course on the list, and I was wondering if someone could send along a URL I could go to for more information on this course (assuming it's given online). I was also wondering if anyone knew of such a course in Canada. I wouldn't mind an American education if the exchange rate wasn't so high! Well, I think this is long enough for a first post, so I'll stop here! But I'll be posting again! Thanks in advance to the collective wisdom for your anticipated replies!

While it is true that he was not one of the original 12 apostles (remember that there was a vacancy due to the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, one of the original 12) he became one after his conversion. Paul became known as the apostle to the Gentiles following his conversion on the road to Damascus. Since Paul was a Roman citizen he had privileges (i.e. traveling throughout the Roman Empire) not enjoyed by the other apostles. Paul was also a Pharisee. Before his conversion he was a fierce persecutor of Christianity (as Saul of Tarsus), which he considered a corruption of Judaism. Disciples of Christ are defined as anyone who followed his teachings both before and after his death. The 12 apostles were disciples who were specifically ordained as such and held the "keys to the kingdom." They became the administrative and instructional leaders of the primitive church, each of them with specific duties. For example, one of them, Peter, is believed by the Catholic Church to have inherited the mantle of Christ and stands as the bishop of Rome (later known as the papacy). In contrast, Paul became the "apostle to the Gentiles" and served multiple missions to the so called gentiles of the Roman Empire. Please note: Some beliefs regarding the specifics of this era vary according to one's church affiliation/belief system but that's pretty much the gist of it!

Yes, I would cross-reference to Paul. I'm not sure you should identify Paul as "the Apostle"; although some Christian denominations may think of him that way, others, including Catholic and Episcopalian/Anglican, think of him as Saint Paul. He is usually ranked with [Saint] Peter in terms of his importance to the Christian Church following Christ's death (and resurrection.) Is there any indication in the book as to how you might best identify him? If the primary readership is denominational, I would say follow that denomination's usual mode of reference. If the readership is more general, just "Paul" is probably sufficient unless you have to distinguish him from other Pauls. Thus: Saul, King [or Saul (King)], 21 Saul of Tarsus. See Paul [with whatever identifier your publisher/readers/author prefer, if any] I hope that helps!

Gross" Subject: Re: Saul or Paul: apostles, and designation of saints In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Matthias is the one who was chosen to replace Judas among "the twelve" (see Acts 1:23-26), the apostles who were witnesses to Jesus during his lifetime. Saul (who is renamed Paul, as has been stated by earlier responses), designates himself as "an apostle" -- and his self-designation is obviously accepted by the Christian community or his epistles wouldn't be read in church. What I find fascinating is that in the Biblical search program I have, I just discovered that the term "apostle" is never used in the singular until the epistles of Paul. In the Gospels and in Acts, the term is only used in the plural, "the apostles." One of the responses to Rachel's query referred to Paul as considered a saint by Catholic and Episcopal churches, which is true for liturgical purposes, but in many scholarly works there has come to be a preference to avoid using the designation Saint Paul, and just referring to him as Paul. Could be Paul of Tarsus, or Paul (apostle), or some such designation if there were any chance of confusion with some other Paul. I haven't checked the references on this, I'm just commenting on a trend I've seen in the theology books I've seen as a student in the past few years. The question about using the term "saint" is one that probably should be determined by the tone of the book or by querying the author. If the text always refers to him as Saint Paul, then presumably that should determine how the index entry should look. Interestingly, the learned Jesuit for whom I did an index last summer did not use the designation "saint" in the index to an earlier book for which he prepared the index himself, but did want the designation in the book I indexed, which was going to have a churchier audience than the earlier book. What I like about this list is the interesting intersection of different people's expertise.

I was simply pointing out that the original 12 wasn't a static, never changing group. I probably should have been more specific :-). Thanks for pointing out the accurate replacement for Judas. It was interesting to hear that the Jesuit you worked for did not use "Saint Paul." There doesn't seem to be any consistency about using "saint" or not in the religious text I index though usually Catholic text will use the "saint." Perhaps being Jesuit, and therefore, a little more secular than most Catholic clergy, made a difference? In any case, I usually just end up using whatever is used in the text. Religious literature has been undergoing a tremendous change in the last few years. It's been fascinating to note the different trends occurring both within the same and different religious communities. Pretty tough for the poor indexer who is trying to keep up!

It's been a long time since I skimmed that book, but I believe the author was trying to get across the idea of a paradigm shift in theology paralleling that which has occurred in physics and other fields. However, I would add that this phrase and the ideas associated with it have not caught on outside that particular book. The book was popular rather than academic in intent, as I think its title indicates, and its ideas have not been taken up by academic theologians or even most popular theologians. So I'd say the term "quantum theology" has no formal definition outside what the author proposes in that book. R.C.

I'm considering a project that might be a rush job, and I'm wondering what others consider as an appropriate fee for rush jobs. The text is a 300-page text that would involve both a subject and a name index. Rates are being discussed for both indexes, but the indexes would need to be finished in less than two weeks.

How much of a rush is it? That is, how far beyond your normal page limit/week for this type of book is this? If you normally do 100 pages/wk (200 for 2 weeks) then you are expected to do 50% more work than usual. Charge accordingly. I think you need to be wary, though, because there may be indexers who can do those 300 pages in two weeks and it's not a rush price for them. I probably wouldn't charge more than about 25% extra, unless this was a real difficult project.

Subject: Re: Saul or Paul I agree with Kara. I believe that the more common reference to Saul (later Paul) is Saul of Tarsus. If you are going to distinguish Paul in any way, I think that the most common form would be Paul the Apostle. The only reason I can think of doing this would be that much of the New Testament consists of the writings of Paul, which may be referenced later on in the book. It may (or may not) be useful to separate the main headings into references specifically about Paul the Apostle and references to Paul's writings, but that's a big judgment call on your part. Incidentally, if the book has a chapter on Peter (and it probably will), you will run into the same thing: Peter was called Simon until he became a follower of Jesus; Jesus specifically renamed him Peter. And there is more than one Simon, even in the New Testament, so he will have to be distinguished. > -----Original Message----- > From: John and Kara Pekar [SMTP:jkpekar@CROSSLINK.NET] > Sent: Saturday, December 11, 1999 6:10 PM > To: INDEX-L@LISTSERV.BINGHAMTON.EDU > Subject: Re: Saul or Paul > > Rachel, > > > Would these, > > then, be appropriate entries: > > > > Saul, King, 21 > > Saul the Pharisee.

Should I index the terms in the questions, or concentrate on the answers since they represent the expert's actual views? I'm assuming that the questions serve just to pull out the experts views, and are not input...at least it seems this work isn't a give and take conversation. Often the terms in the question are not even addressed by the interviewee. For example, " no, that is not the issue"...and goes on to talk about what he thinks is important.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I would really like to read the court opinion. Most of what is up on About.com does not make much sense. However the About.com post states: She banned them from posting "addresses to Web sites that defendants know, or have reason to know, contain the material alleged to infringe plaintiff's copyright." If this is what the opinion is about, this has little to do with the "end of linking." It has to do with aiding in the infringement of a copyright. If I take Hans Wellisch's book, Indexing from A to Z, scan it and post it on my Web site for everyone to download, I am infringing on the copyright of the book. That is against the law. If you post a link to my infringing material on your Web site, you are aiding in the infringement. Not having read the opinion, this is my best guess about what it may be about. -nancy Nancy Mulvany Bayside Indexing Service Kensington, CA (510) 524-4195 nmulvany@bayside-indexing.com Reference Books for Indexers (http://www.bayside-indexing.com) ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 15:36:36 -0500 Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Bonnie Hanks Subject: Re: Web Site tune up In-Reply-To: <00c501bf4506$71f70e40$8fb971d1@iwillp3450> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Here's another good one, choose single page analysis. http://www2.imagiware.com/RxHTML/ At 08:07 PM 12/12/99 -0500, you wrote: >Just wanted to pass along this free service to those who have web sites.

My thoughts: I would most likely only index the material in the answers. Where the subject of the answers coincides with the questions, that's obvious. In the case of the answer, "no, that is not the issue..." I would index to the larger question at hand. There are two answers given, the interviewer's and the expert's, and what needs indexing first is the subject of that larger question, with additional indexing, if relevant, of the details of the expert's answer, since the expert's opinions are the subject of the book. But I would also look to see if the positions of the interviewer are forming a relevant subtext of the book, that is, are the questions (along with the answers that the interviewer posits) also forming their own conceptual line, a mode of analysis within the book itself? This tends to form indexing concepts that can be very hard to pin down, and this is most likely true in a highly complex book. It is an additional level of indexing and very likely is not warranted. --Victoria vbaker@asis.com ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 13:28:40 -0800 Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Robin Hilp Subject: Re: Quantum Theology?

Do not reply to the list. * If you own a web site you would like added, write me at smaislin@lycos.com with ONLY the following information: - complete web site address (URL) - title of web site - description of web site, no more than two sentences Please following the example of those web sites already posted online. * If you know of a web site that is not yours, but you think it should be added, please write me at smaislin@lycos.com with ONLY the full URL. It makes my life much easier if you keep your messages to short lists of URLs; any additional text just gets in the way. By listing these web sites in the directory, they are guaranteed to be found by Lycos' search engine. The ranking order of various web sites is beyond my control, and the rationale behind that ordering is considered proprietary. (No Web search engines divulge their secrets. It's sort of like soft drink formulas. :-) However, it is clear that words like "index," "indexes," and "indexing" are so overused in the Web that results are bound to be skewed. This is the other advantage of the directory: editorial control. - Seth ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:24:54 -0600 Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Carol Roberts Subject: Re: INDEX-L Digest - 12 Dec 1999 to 13 Dec 1999 (#1999-136) In-Reply-To: <199912140501.AAA03539@bingnet2.cc.binghamton.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >I am indexing a book which is an interview of a historian and I have never >indexed interviews before.

I treated the questions as hints about what the answers were going to be about, but as you point out, the interviewee doesn't always answer the question. Sometimes authors, too, will write a bunch o' questions, often at the start of a chapter, and those aren't really indexable content so much as a little outline of what will be addressed in the chapter. So in the book of interviews, I treated the answers as the indexable part and just used the interviewer's questions as cues. If, however, the interviewer included historical background in the question (sometimes to get the interviewee to confirm or deny), I did index that material. Here's a sample (and made up; my apologies to the Wash. Post) of what that might look like: interviewer: The Washington Post has always been big on conspiracy theories. I can still remember when they speculated that Buddy Holly shot JFK. What do you think about that? (p. 27) interviewee: I don't think he did it. But I do think the Yankees will win the Series again next year. (p. 28) entries generated: Holly, Buddy, 27-28 Kennedy, John F., 27-28 New York Yankees, 28 Washington Post, 27 Yankees (New York), 28 If you want to take a look at it, the book I'm referring to is _Letters from Freedom: Post-Cold War Realities and Perspectives_, edited by Irena Grudzinska Gross (University of California Press, 1998).
