“Indexing cannot be reduced to a set of steps that can be followed! It is not a mechanical process. Indexing books is a form of writing. Like other types of writing it is a mixture of art and craft, judgment and selection. With practice and experience, indexers develop their own style as do other writers.” — Nancy Mulvany, Indexing Books Web site designed by
