requires robust systems of indexing and abstracting. This book

organization-of information in society. This fourth edition of
Introduction to Indexing and Abstracting examines the primary tools
for organizing information, addressing fundamental concepts such as
the nature of information, the organization of information,
vocabulary control, types of indexes and abstracts, evaluation of
indexing, and the use of the latest technologies. The book presents
information in four sections that covers topics in a logical,
sequential order: Foundations, Applications, Techniques, and
Professional Practice. A unique resource that covers all the areas
of indexing and abstracting in the digital information age, this
text will benefit practicing librarians and indexers, students of
library and information science, and educators in the area of
information organization, as well as those considering indexing and
abstracting as a career option. Supplies current and extensive
