Facing the Text: Content and Structure in Book Indexing

Based on Do Mi Stauber’s popular and empowering workshop, the book discusses such standard topics as subheadings, cross-references and indexability, in the context of particular texts and indexes. Hundreds of examples illustrate the many practical strategies that Do Mi has drawn from her own practice in social sciences and humanities indexing.

? deciding which topics should be indexed
? understanding subheadings with a new typology created by Do Mi Stauber and Nancy Mulvany
? choosing subheadings for long spans and locator strings
