It is important to comprehend the ins and outs of a final step in the publishing process — creating an index. In this session, you will discover the differences between a computer-generated and a human-generated index and determine whether a publication needs a back-of-the-book or embedded/hyperlinked index. You’ll see examples of some of the tools used in creating indexes, such as Word and dedicated indexing software programs. After the session, you will understand what type of material benefits from an index, who should attempt its creation, and how it's done.
