Can’t a computer do that?’ Interesting answers from a range of experienced professional indexers (including myself) indexers.org.uk/posts/ask-the-…


This was one of my #indexes. Always interesting to #index a political biography.

Liz Truss’ book just arrived in the office. Superb bit of indexing here

Once you’ve learned that indexing is a job, you might wonder how people become one. Our training course that will take you from absolute beginner to professional accreditation. Find out more about the process of learning to index #IndexDay indexers.org.uk/posts/tag/beco…


Happy National Indexing Day 2024 #indexday. These are some of the books that help to make my #indexing as accurate and helpful as possible. Quite a collection.

There’s one extraordinary front page today in Russia which sums up Moscow’s attempts to link Ukraine and the West to the Crocus City concert hall massacre. #ReadingRussia

The word is spreading about #IndexDay and bookings are increasing for our London workshops on 28 March @PublishersAssoc, a chance for publishing professionals to learn more about indexing. Reserve your place now: indexers.org.uk/posts/national….


Agree. This looks to be an excellent #index.

An example of an author advertising their forthcoming book with a chunk of the index. In this case, that is a great looking index, both in terms of contents of the book and the additional information the indexer has included. Disclaimer, it isn't one that I made.

Nearly done with writing my next article for @The_Indexer on @djbduncan’s ‘INDEX, A History of the’ in its English, German and Italian editions, including my index translated. Translate the index or re-index the translation – which is better?

It’s becoming quite a habit (though entirely appropriate): National Indexing Day #indexday coincides with my birthday so I’ll have a day off from #indexing. Back to the intellectual challenge tomorrow.

The second part of our series on commissioning an indexer is now available on the website. This time @tanya_izzard discusses what happens once the proofs are ready to be indexed. indexers.org.uk/posts/commissi…


How ironic!

Oh no! @djbduncan and @PC_Bain - and check the author of this tweet for why this is important!

We have professional indexers who specialise in history and/or biography and none of them would have produced an index like this. Look for a professional indexer in our directory. indexers.org.uk/find-an-indexe…

This is the most gloriously unhelpful index entry I have ever seen (Why does it stop at p. 495? Because the book is only 495 pages long)
