ASI’s Indexer Locator Now Available Online

Wheat Ridge, CO (May 9, 2005) – As the only professional organization in the U.S. devoted to the advancement of indexing, The American Society for Indexing (ASI) has made finding an indexer even easier. ASI’s Indexer Locator, the premier indexer directory, is now available online at www.asindexing.org.

The Indexer Locator is an online database designed to help clients find indexers for projects they have ready right now. In addition to contact information, data listed include subject specialties, language, type of material indexed, and embedded indexing software used. All information is selfreported by members of ASI. A printed directory of indexers may be downloaded from the website as well.

Because ASI wants to provide as many methods as possible for indexers and clients to find each other, the Indexer Locator is one of two complementary ways to make this connection. ASI also offers a Jobs Hotline, which is a free service that allows clients to announce indexing jobs and projects. To access either service, visit the ASI website.

The American Society for Indexing is a national association founded in 1968 to promote excellence in indexing and to increase awareness of the value of well-written, well-designed indexes.
