Two suggestions --
Join the Web4Lib mailing list (subscribe via listserv@library.berkeley.edu)
and ask questions there.
There's a new book called "Indexing Books" by Nancy Mulvany (University of
Chicago Press; ISBN 0-226-55014-1) that looks really good. I have it and
I've skimmed it; others have highly recommended it. If nothing else, it'll
give you an appreciation for the depth of knowledge necessary!
