Librarians in Training: Introduction to Indexing

New

A two-hour session designed to introduce you to the skill of compiling back-of-the-book type indexes. Indexing is a useful skill for anyone working in a library or information environment and also provides opportunities for self-employment and working from home. We will touch on the basic processes, standards and conventions, the Society of Indexers’ course, and embedded indexing, and we will have a go at creating a basic index. Feel free to bring a laptop but they are not essential.

• You must be a staff member of one of the Cambridge libraries (College, FDL, Affiliated, Institution or UL) to attend this session.
