One of my clients is thinking of using a software called Sonar Bookends to create a name and title index for a large encyclopedia. Is anyone familiar with this...
Jan Wright has a review of it in *Software for Indexing* edited by Sandi Schroeder. It's not very positive. Perhaps she will communicate directly with you. ...
Yes indeed.... It could work for a name and title index, but be aware that the number of other things it will pull out beyond that could make cleaning it up a...
Hi there, I am a new indexer and I'm going through the seemingly endless process of decision-making regarding establishing a presence in the indexing ...
We (Indexers Unlimited) started a Sponsored Google Ad campaign in April 2004 (the group has been in existence since March 2002). I would estimate that the...
I'm not sure your results (since you reap the benefits of the group's advertising) are going to compare to an individual's results with his own Web site. I've...
... This is my feeling, too. I pay $70/year with Netfirms, very pleased, very easy. ... Agree again. I can't imagine what they can offer for that amount that ...
No, actually I have my own web site and most of my new clients find that directly. In fairness, since I run the Indexers Unlimited site, I don't really push...
... We've had this discussion before. Some get few or no responses from their Web sites, and some get many. ... There are ways to get the search engines to pay...
Of course. I'm just responding to Shad's request. I assumed he is collecting anecdotal evidence. This was mine. Cheers, Carol ... Indexing services:...
Shad, I build and maintain my own website and I optimized it for search engines myself with great success. There are numerous library books that you can check...
So, I tried "indexers" in Google just now. I get ASI, the Society of Indexers, the Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers, Indexers Unlimited, etc.,...
A relatively new, and interesting, search engine is htto:// www.scroogle. com Check it out. I just learned about it this week, and used it to find things I...
... LOL, um, yeah, I guess! I have a feeling that message wasn't really from you, Paula. But if not, how was that done. Scary. Unless someone else tried to...
Hi Rae, I just typed in www.scroogle.com, and was given the suggestion that it should be www.scroogle.org and I got the Yahoo search site that Paula described!...
... Wow, you're up early, Bobbi! OK, that does work a lot better. I thought "boobdex" was pretty funny for a bunch of indexers. It did give me a nice early...
Hahaha! Yes, that really was from me. I didn't realize how much it sounds like and advertising pitch. And, yes, it should be ".org." I have it bookmarked, so...
Are any of you members of the networking organization BNI? If you're willing to share, I'd like to know whether it's worked for you. E-mail me privately if you...
Oh boy.... does anyone here remember the Money Magazine article on indexing as a career? I guess the tech writers are about to experience the same thing...
... Yes, and I also discovered that a common name results in lots of interesting information about other people with the same name! Nora Harris (NOT the wife...
I'd like to invite folks who've studied with me to an informal get-together in Toronto during the ISC/ASI conference. If you are attending the conference, this...
All, Thought this would be of interest to any of you who might encounter this new way of phishing. As always, watch your back! Nora ... Harris Indexing...
Thanks for the heads-up - this is all scary stuff, I am amazed that there are so many scammers out there! If they put as much energy into a real job as they...

Yes, but "van der Waals forces" is not a name - it is a specific concept that happens to be eponymous, and thus doesn't follow any name rules. Mulvany is very...
Yes, but publishers don't always follow Mulvany! If you look at the bibliography, you will often find names like this under V. And they are often cited in text...
