This message has been posted to several lists. Please forgive the duplication. COMPUTER SUPPORT TO INDEXING The National Federation of Abstracting and Information Services (NFAIS) announces the publication of "Computer Support to Indexing," written by Gail M. Hodge and Jessica L. Milstead. Based on extensive interviews with twenty-nine database producers, this report describes the current environment of database indexing, the use of indexing with metadata, plus the surrounding issues, policies, and developments since the advent of the Web. "Computer Support to Indexing" provides an overview of the general design of existing indexing systems, aids to the clerical aspects of indexing, support to intellectual decisions, quality control, management, and system implementation. It also discusses factors affecting the future of computer support to indexing. This latest reports updates the 1992 NFAIS publication, "Automated Support to Indexing" by Gail Hodge. About the authors... Gail Hodge has been involved in the design of production systems for abstracting and indexing services since 1978. As Senior Project Manager for Information International Associates, Inc., she has primary responsibility for project management and consulting in the areas of database production, metadata and bibliographic record analysis, and the application of technology to cataloging and indexing. Jessica Milstead is Principal of The JELEM Company, which since 1986 has been offering consulting services in thesaurus and index development, including machine-indexing. She works with a variety of clients, including database producers, Web content developers, and government agencies, to aid in development of user-oriented, cost-effective products. "Computer Support to Indexing" is must-reading for secondary publishers, primary publishers, and intermediaries, who seek to provide subject access to databases, and for consultants who support this effort. Founded in 1958, the National Federation of Abstracting and Information Services is a membership organization of more than 50 leading information producers and providers. Its purpose is to serve the information community through education, research, and publication.
