Base text, arrangement and use, and exclusions are all covered, together with an explanation as to why the concordance was not computer-generated. The mechanics of manual compilation are outlined, as is the preparation of camera-ready copy using a microcomputer-based word-processing program.","PeriodicalId":102334,"journal":{"name":"The Indexer: The International Journal of Indexing: Volume 16, Issue 2","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125267803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
