Thesaurus review

This index was created as a joint project with classmate Susanna Cowan for the course ILS-531, Indexing and abstracting, taught by Dr. Y. Q. Liu, Southern Connecticut State University, Spring, 2005.

Assignment: Index a group of electronic documents/web sites on a topic of your interest. The web indexing project will need to use both recall and precision techniques. The total of your index terms should be less than 5% of the total words/pages of document(s)/web sites that you have selected, and the total words of the selected documents/websites should be a minimum of 6000 words (8 pages); preferably more.


Special project

Notes on the presentation of this index
Individual indexes for each article. These individual indexes are intended to make our index usable. Although we have yet to hear back from the editor of Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide, we still have hopes that she will respond and express interest in the work we have done. These individual indexes could be “attached” to each article for the use of journal readers and wouldn’t require the publisher to create a full-fledged online index for the entire journal. Our aim in providing two formats is to provide the greatest flexibility for the potential use of this index. Whereas the cumulative index can be viewed as a stand-alone object; the individual indexes can be viewed as guides intended to be used with particular articles.
