Looking for indexing articles, white papers?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Scott Abel wondered: <<I am looking for indexing tips and tricks and 
wonder if anyone knows of any articles or white papers about indexing 
to which you'd be willing to point me?>>

There are many good books on indexing, and one or more should be 
available in any good library. Comprehensive style guides such as the 
Chicago Manual of Style usually contain a good "primer" on indexing. 
That's where I learned the basics, to be followed up by additional 
reading later.

Have a look at the "American Society of Indexers" Web site; they've got 
a bunch of useful resources there 
(http://www.asindexing.org/site/asires.shtml), and a pointer to special 
interest groups and chapters where you can go to ask specific questions 
and perhaps even get some mentoring.
