Indexing Specialties: Law

April 27, 2001, Medford, NJ — Information Today, Inc. has announced publication of the latest book in its "Indexing Specialties" series, Indexing Specialties: Law, edited by Peter Kendrick and Enid L. Zafran. This new book is devoted to the topic of legal indexing, with contributions from more than one dozen leading practitioners. 

Each of the 13 chapters in this new book was written by working indexers who share their experiences and advice on the subject of legal indexing. A few of the topics include indexing case books, selecting keywords from the text, editing indexes, and developing automated indexing. This series attempts to provide continuing education for indexers and to help those wishing to learn the fine points of legal indexing.

In the "Introduction," Peter Kendrick states, "Legal indexing is also about values. There is a generosity that great indexers bring to their work. There is a deep-seated passion to help a faceless future user who will be working on an important case, perhaps late into the night. And above all, there is a desire to get it right." Each author exhibits that sense of integrity in some way throughout each of their chapters.

Indexing Specialties: Law is available by ordering direct from the publisher.
