Description
This book describes various traditional and new indexing techniques. It shows that 'old' techniques, e.g. 'thesauri, can be at the fundamental of new ones like automatic indexing, ontologies or topic maps. The book provides information professionals who are not specialists in indexing, and students of Library and Information Sciences, with a broad and comprehensible introduction to an interesting but sometimes highly complex aspect of their (future) job. Not only does it explain all types of indexing, but it also enables the reader to gain an in-depth knowledge by pointing him or her to relevant literature, websites and freeware.
