We also discussed possible collaborations with the CILIP Metadata and Discovery Group. Thanks to the SI and CILIP members who attended for such a stimulating and expansive discussion.

[Society of Indexers @indexers]

Our monthly Coffee Morning today discussed links, differences and potential collaborations between indexers and library and information professionals (LIPs), joined by members of CILIP. Many indexers come from an this background, and often do this work alongside indexing.

[Society of Indexers @indexers]

Several members present were both LIPs and indexers and shared the affinities they found between these areas of work, and how they can work together symbiotically.

Like @KathyBurke and @jennyeclair on the excellent @deathpod, we deplore a non-fiction book without an index. But we can reassure Jenny that people do still get trained to create indexes, not least by our training course. Maybe an index in the paperback of your memoir, Jenny?
