Database Indexing Experience
  • Associate Editor for non-area Studies, Bibliography of Asian Studies, Association for Asian Studies, Ann Arbor, MI USA
“When I first informed Ryan about finding an Indexer for the book, he had cautioned me that Indexing is a dying art as more and more authors prefer to rustle up some keywords and present these as Index. And I know many people who have done that, and I would have too if I did not believe that Indexing is an art, requires training, experience, as well as talent and it is not the same thing as writing a theory book. But then I understand why many authors tend to compromise on the Index: it is expensive. As funds for basic research in both humanities and the sciences keep shrinking, authors feel more compelled to cut corners. I had to submit two separate 6 page applications to get  $1000 from my College. The rest comes from my pocket. But no regrets: what a wonderful index you have prepared for the book. Thank you. Your Index is the best thing that happened to this book.”
