Indexers Online - One stop site for all your indexing needs and professional indexers on many subjects
Why Use A Professional Indexer?
The reason is well summarised in the following quote: “Language is full of homographs and synonyms and not all the references found will be relevant. For example, a computer-produced index of the 9/11 report showed many references for George Bush, but did not distinguish between GB senior and George W. In an environmental text, the phrase "lead users" will refer, not only to users of the metallic element, but also to early adopters of technology. Some hits will be time-wasting references, such as looking up “teaching children” and finding only the statement saying "... the above is not relevant when teaching children"... looking up the Dardanelles and missing references to the Hellespont or Çanakkale Boğazı, or seeking information about population and missing discussions about the number of people living in the area. A human-produced index has someone check each and every part of the text to find everything relevant to the search term...” Source:
The complexities of language and specialised knowledge of any particular subject are far beyond the capabilities of even the most sophisticated computerised systems.
The human touch is essential.
The human touch gives usability to your work and, as a reference, something that will be returned to and updated again and again.
A poor index is, at best, inconvenient, at worst, laughable.
Avoid this happening to your published material,
Use a professional indexer experienced in your specialised subject.
