Not that I’m more interested in food than in the presentations for the ASI conference in Portland ME, but that’s important, too. I found this article in Bon Apetit on where to eat in Portland ME and thought I’d share it. I do intend to eat some lobster and oysters while I’m there! Links included in the…

From Potomac Indexing Blog
From Joanne Sprott on the Potomac Indexing Blog here a great article on “Name Dropping in the Index” that I found helpful in dealing with names in some indexes–particularly in academic publications where “vanity” inclusion is an issue–where the number of times an author is cited is important.

Online resource suggestions from PI

Consider the index….

Absolute discombobulation!
I just finished the indexing project in InDesign last night–(huge sigh of relief here and immediate crash with some mindless reading and sleep). This project resulted in absolute, utter, raging discombobulation around here. Not because of the material, not because of the people with whom I was working, but because of software and file problems….
Chicago ASI Convention
Another inspiring ASI convention in Chicago! ASI members know about the Order of the Kohlrabi–our service recognition, but what about the actual vegetable? Well, if you were at the convention you heard that there is a kohlrabi cookbook in the making. We’ll be looking for member volunteers to submit recipes, and to test recipes using…
