Bridge, Noeline, ed. Indexing Names. Medford, NJ:
Information Today, 2012. 025.3 Index ISBN 978-1573874502
Don't be deceived into thinking names
are easy to index! They can present a challenge that consumes a
disproportionate amount of an indexer's time. Now at last we have a book wholly
devoted to the subject. Coverage includes names from classical and medieval
times and those belonging to particular ethnicities and nationalities, along
with those peculiar to specific genres, especially biography, religion, and the
performance and fine arts. Fictional, corporate, and geographical names as well
as those of royalty and nobility are discussed. You'll find advice on when and
how to index names mentioned in peripheral ways and guidance in avoiding the
pitfalls of automated name indexing.
With Indexing Names, Noeline Bridge and her contributing experts from around the globe have created an essential reference for all indexers working in the English language and an instant classic within the field.
