Title

Indexes: a chapter from The Chicago manual of Style, 14th edition : a review

Source

Indexer. 19(1994) no.2, S.105-109

Year

1994

Abstract

The chapter on indexes in The Chicago Manual of Style serves as a standard for index format and as a self teaching tool for authors and novice indexers. Reviews the 14th ed. for logical sequence, accordance of the guidelines and rules with those of other manuals and authorities, and the quality of its index. It is found wanting in all these areas, but contains much useful information on the indexing process and book index format
