Hi all, a lurker surfaces. The professional information from this list is great. I subscribed to a moderated list for a reason. A little OT is tolerable but...
... Thanks, John. Appreciate that very much. I do want to make something clear, though. We call ourselves moderators because that's what Yahoo calls us, but we...
I am so brain dead this morning, I hope someone will help me! It is raining out, I have a cold, and my brain has shut down! I am doing an index on rain...

I concur with Meg -- "deforestation" would be the term for #1. Also perhaps "global extent of"? If you have an entry at all for rainforests (maybe not, since...
Actually, my heading was "extent and pace of deforestation." Deforestation was the topic of the whole book I indexed, so that couldn't be a main heading...

Hello all! I'd like to invite contributions to the summer publication of the ISC/SCI Bulletin. The Bulletin is the easiest way to get information to Canadian...
I'm indexing a book on North American archaeology which includes Canadian sites. I'm puzzling over how to format the Canadian entries. For U.S. one I have the...
I think just "Updike Plantation" would be fine as an entry unless there are two Updike Plantations. I wouldn't object to adding the state or province, but it's...
Indexing and abstracting often go together, or used to. I've got a client who's looking for abstracting services (particularly how much is normally charged),...
