Finding the right indexer is now even easier

Thanks to the restructuring of the Society of Indexers’ online directory of ‘Indexers Available’, it’s now even easier to find the right indexer for your project. Rather than just presenting you with lists of indexers offering particular subject specialisms, the redesigned interface provides much more information about each indexer’s experience and qualifications in each subject, enabling you to select the most suitable indexer for the job. Analytical indexing is a skilled intellectual task, in which an appropriate level of subject knowledge is vital for preparing a properly constructed finding aid to guide readers back into the text.
