Workshop Highlights

There is still room in the other four workshops!

 New workshops have been added to the schedule.

  • Crash Course in Book Indexing presented by Seth Maislin: Designed for beginning indexers, this workshop will smack down all the basics: culling the text for what to index, word choice, subheadings, page numbers, cross-refs, format, layout, and indexers tools.
  • Double Posting and Its Friends presented by Enid Zafran: Double posting means more than creating another entry it involves understanding when to use cross-references, when to customize other multiple postings, and how to avoid scattering. Explore common mistakes in indexing,as well as shortcuts for inputting and accuracy in indexing jobs.

 

Cutting-edge eBook Info

Members of ASI's Digital Trends Task Force have recently returned from Digital Book World 2012 and the Tools of Change event. They have the most up-to-date information about eBooks and the role of indexes in this new technology. Come hear about digital publishing in a variety of sessions that will explore how indexers fit in to the changing environment and how you can leverage the new opportunities.
