Our book: Website Indexing 2nd Edition

In 2001 Glenda and Jon produced the first edition of 'Website indexing: enhancing access to information within websites', the definitive guide to producing book-style indexes for the Web. The book was published by Auslib Press and sold to information science professionals around the world, as well as being translated into Korean. An updated and expanded second edition has now been published (2004) to encompass changes in technology and approach since the first edition was released.

As of November 1st, 2004, the 2nd edition is also available electronically for $US20 as a PDF eBook. Click here for details.
