For access in all kinds of environments, you want someone who understands the publication and content delivery process, which could be web-based, as an ebook on a Kindle, on your cellphone, or in print. You could have combinations of delivery systems, and want your index to work in all of them.
A professional indexer:
- always has the user in mind,
- makes sure the information is accessible,
- brings a fresh eye to the information,
- uses powerful software to streamline the indexing process,
- meets any editorial style needed,
- can code indexing for ebook production, single-sourcing or content reuse processes,
- can build standardized vocabularies or synonym sets if needed,
- provides indexes that can be updated and searched quickly for any last-minute changes.
The index is the user's main tool to finding analyzed information. Using a professional indexer to build your index can provide your readers with a usable finding aid, not a curse-able one.
