Synopsis
This updated book is intended primarily as a text to be used in teaching indexing and abstracting in schools of library and information science. It should also be of value to all individuals and institutions involved in training for information retrieval and related activities, including librarians, managers of information centres, and database producers. This second edition is as relevant as the first which won the 1992 ASIS Best Information Science Book Award. While concentrating on indexing and abstracting as practised by published indexing and abstracting services in paper or electronic form, the text emphasises that the principles of indexing and abstacting for library catalogues are the same and the book should be of interest and benefit to those concerned with improving subject access in online catalogues. It also features indexing and abstracting exercises to guide the practitioner.
