Book Description
Excerpt from Manual of Practical Indexing In offering the following pages I have been actuated by a desire to supply indexers with something approaching a method of guidance in their work. I am rash enough to consider that the customary apology indulged in by authors of manuals and text-books is unnecessary, for until quite recently little or nothing has been written on indexing form the practical standpoint, in a connected or comprehensive form. I am only too well aware that a work of this nature must have its shortcomings, for the chapters composing it have been produced at such intervals as could be spared from other engrossing occupations. The early part of the work has already appeared in serial form in The Library World but the matter has been largely re-cast and condensed. I am especially indebted to Mr. J. Y. W. MacAlister, and to Mr. James Duff Brown, who has kindly given me permission to make extracts from his valuable Manual of Library Economy; also to Mr. W. E. Doubleday, Librarian of the Borough of Hampstead, who has rendered me much assistance in revision of the manuscript.

Book Description
Excerpt from Indexing and Filing: A Manual of Standard Practice In presenting this volume it seems desirable that a brief sketch be given covering the development in the field of indexing and filing. Less than two generations ago the business man handled all of his correspondence from the opening of a communication to its filing, and the man who had sufficient correspondence to require the services of an amanuensis was the exception rather than the rule. The number of papers handled was so limited that the filing question was a more or less negligible one, the usual procedure being to jab the paper on a stick or spindle file, or else stow it away in the drawer of a counter or cupboard. Since then the growth of the country, changes in conditions and new inventions have made it possible to transact business in hours and even in minutes that formerly required days, weeks, or months, and with this growth has come an enormous increase in the volume of papers to be handled. To meet the demand for better filing equipment that naturally arose with this increased volume of paper, the first systematic filing device was developed - the box file. This consisted of a box, its cover opening like a book, with twenty-five or twenty-six pages or pieces of manila paper, tabbed with the letters of the alphabet and fastened into the box at one side, the papers being filed between these sheets. The box file was followed by the flat file, which was a development of the box file in more permanent form, the pasteboard box being replaced by a wooden drawer.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Technique of Indexing This small book purports to be an elementary text-book and practical guide to index-making. It has nothing to do with cataloguing and it is addressed to that section of the general public desiring knowledge on the subject before taking up definite training; it does not pretend to teach anybody already in the profession. The main fault of the various articles which have appeared on the subject of indexing is that they are written entirely from the point of view of the cataloguer and the biblio grapher, which is quite a different one from that of the indexer. Cataloguing and biblio graphy deal with large masses of books, or with wide subjects, while indexing has to do with the minute structure of one book or of a series of books; and whereas the scope of the one is unlimited, that of the other is strictly limited and the methods employed are consequently different.
