Why does my publication need an index?

 

(A List of Contents is not an index.)

 

A publication requires an index if users will need to locate

subjects in the text before or after reading through it.

The more sophisticated the text, the more the user needs a

comprehensive guide to the information contained.

 

Speed of Access and Cost Savings

 

Time spent searching for information is often money lost.

A professional index will include all significant topics and

their inter-relationships in the index, allowing users to

gain maximum advantage from the text.

 

Book Reviews and Index Ratings

 

The lack of a good index can seriously undermine a publication's

success. Book reviews often refer to the adequacy of the index,

and criticism may be severe in this area.

Users need a good, consistent and comprehensive access tool.
