You didn't say what platform you're on. I'm on a Mac, and I use Apple's iCal. Works beautifully. ... Cheers, Carol Roberts http://www.RobertsIndexing.com ...
Thank you everyone. I'm checking out palm pilots and iCal to keep myself organized. I'm one of those people who is possibly over-organized at times (according...
I recently submitted an index for an art book. The index contained endnote references, such as: 154n3 . The "n" was italicized in my MS Word file, because...
I have one regular client that specifies an italic n. When not directed otherwise, I use roman; fewer keystrokes. Carolyn Weaver ... From: "Peter Rooney"...
I use roman n. For that famous reason: "It's always been done that way." Also, most of my indexing is for folks who use CMS or sometimes APa (although APA...
Hi, If the name of a book is cited in the text but the author's name is not included is it appropriate to include the name in parens in the index after the...
The author's last name should always be used as a qualifier for book titles as main headings. In fact, that is true for all works of art, that the creator is...
If the author's name is included anywhere in the text or is well known, I include it in all index entries and double post under the author's name. Otherwise,...
I have been trying for several days to join the Indexstudents group, but get only automatic responses. I have yet to receive any mail from the group other...

A "possible errors" list -- that sounds like a great idea -- I bet it's really appreciated. Is it common practice for indexers to include such a list, or is...
Errata lists are an indexing tradition. I find it very easy to do. I set up an "errata" template in Cindex and prepare one for each index. Although the...
Okay, this is embarrassing to ask but here goes. In this university press book about environmentalism and intergenerational justice the author talks mucho...
How about? justice <>future of I don't quite "get" why, but "the future" feels more correct in your example. But, I would *never* begin an entry as "the...

... "The future" simply divides the whole of eternity in two, so I would prefer something more specific if possible, such as: justice future thinking on future...
Let me explain a bit more. The concept of intergenerational justice means how we (author's point of whole book), in this generation, have an obligation to...
I'd use "the future" here--because that's the way people say it, think it. "and future" looks like "future" is an adjective and a noun is missing. I know this...
The concept of "the future" is much different than a word modified by the adjective "future." So by all means, you should use "the future" as a phrase. (The...
