Indexers delight (see: conference, annual)
Of particular interest to scholarly and literary magazine people is word that Toronto plays host June 15 to 17 to hundreds of international indexers at the Triennial International Indexing Meeting and Conference of the Indexing and Abstracting Society of Canada/Société canadienne pour l'analyse de documents (IASC/SCAD) and the American Society of Indexers (ASI). The meetings are held at the Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel. This diverse program brings together a multicultural array of indexing professionals and opens Thursday, June 15, with keynote speaker Eleanor Wachtel, recent recipient of the Order of Canada and host of CBC Radio’s Writers & Company.
The conference is for new and experienced indexers with basic information sessions as well as the more esoteric sessions about parliamentary indexing, indexing in Continental Europe, enterprise taxonomies and seminars about Web indexing. International delegates include Professor Xu, vice president of Fudan University and chairman of the executive council of China Society of Indexers (CSI), as well as those from Germany, Holland and across North America. Early in the morning of Saturday, June 17, attend a discussion of indexing technology used in China.
Before that, says a press release, "begin Thursday with all day workshops for beginners, or find out what makes a professional indexer’s heart beat faster at the session Dancing on Cobwebs: Decision Making in Our Indexes. And on Sunday, there is a post-conference tour of the Royal Ontario Museum.
The Indexing and Abstracting Society of Canada / Société canadienne pour l'analyse de documents (IASC / SCAD), founded 1977 and the American Society of Indexers, founded 1968, are both national organizations that promote excellence in indexing and increase awareness of the value of well-written, well-designed indexes.To find out more, contact Mary Newberry or phone: 416.966.1523
