Abstract

The indexing of both books and periodicals must fulfill certain basic functions, prescribed by national and international standards. Regarding the requirements of their indexing, verbal texts in the form of books and periodicals form a continuum ranging from books written by a single author (or a small team), books written by multiple authors, encyclopedias, periodical volumes, and articles in periodicals. Problems of indexing policy, indexing language, depth of indexing, author's names, titles, the physical form of indexes, and indexes to single volumes of periodicals and cumulative indexes are discussed. Large bibliographic databases do not use fully automatic indexing systems, which are incapable of fulfilling all basic indexing functions. Rather, they employ teams of indexers supported by automated indexing aids for the execution of clerical tasks, vocabulary control, and other assistance for the intellectual tasks performed by indexers. Electronic journals are unlikely to be indexed because of the instability of their texts. The principal features of verbal texts and their indexes are displayed schematically
