----------------------------Original message----------------------------
For anyone who saw the May, 1996 issue of "Wired," and saw the
article on indexing in it, I have posted on my web site a reply
to it from a well-known professional indexer, Nancy Mulvany,
who is a former president of ASI (American Society of Indexers),
author of "Indexing Books," an educator of indexers at a
library school, and a very, very experienced indexer herself.
I've heard from various friends that copies of the Steinberg article have
been widely distributed to a lot of librarians. Nancy's article should be
also widely distributed to give a more balanced picture of the issues
involved. You can click onto it from the "Author (Other Resources)"
link of my home page to get to it. She gives permission for it to be
freely distributed.
