The Queensland Branch of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers Inc. (ANZSI) is offering a two part course on back-of-book indexing. Part two of the course aims to provide hands-on experience indexing a small publication using one of the commercially dedicated indexing software packages available. The course is designed to have a large practical component, but will also give a strong basis in the theory of indexing.
