*Indexing Applications in Print and Digital Media*

October 17, 2009 - 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
$220 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni price $175)
Simmons College Campus

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, sub-entry 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.

Instructor: Seth Maislin is a leader in the indexing industry. He is a 
managing partner of indexing firm Potomac Indexing, past-president of 
the American Society for Indexing, and founder of the techindexing 
community. He teaches a comprehensive remote-learning class on indexing 
and has spoken at numerous conferences and companies. His indexing 
expertise extends into consulting and training work in information 
architecture and taxonomy; seth.maislin at potomacindexing.com
