Indexing Application in Print and Digital Media
Saturday, November 8, 2008
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Simmons College, One Palace Road Bldg

Cost: $220 (Simmons GSLIS Alums $175)

In this workshop, participants learn the theoretical guidelines and 
practical skills for writing a back-of-the-book index, and then apply 
that knowledge to indexes for online media: hypertext documentation, 
online help, and basic information architecture. Fundamental topics 
include topic inclusion, subentry construction, locators and cross 
references, language selection, entry sorting, and usability concerns. 
Lively in-class discussion is encouraged, and any additional topics 
(e.g., tools, careers, deadlines, subject specialties) will be 
introduced by request.

Faculty: Seth Maislin is a leader in the indexing industry. He is 
past-president of the American Society for Indexing; managing partner of 
the indexing firm Potomac Indexing, LLC; and founder of the techindexing 
community. He teaches a comprehensive remote-learning class on indexing 
through Middlesex Community College and has spoken at numerous 
conferences and companies. A long-time freelance indexer and mentor, you
