Abstract

This article is a review of Book Indexes from a variety of points, which are in fact the oldest indexes used in the world. They are different than journal indexes and database indexes which are ongoing projects. Book indexes, on the other hand, are unique in their own frameworks, as each one is a completed and finished unit. Construction of book indexes, types of index- es (according to subject headings and proper names), synthesis and ana- lytic methods; and formats of indexes (indented and run-in formats) are described. There is a list of important conventions relating to book index- es at the end of the article.

Keywords: Book indexing, Indexing, Subject indexes
