varsha the hot dam historianso obviously i'm sad twitter died, mainly because i got a lot of my indexing jobs that way, so if you need to have a book indexed, hire me! (please reblog this academics)
Szymon Nowicki@varsha_venkat sorry is it’s a silly question. What is book indexing?
@hey basically it's the back of the book where the nonfiction book's terms/dates/names/events/themes/concepts are alphabetised and put with page-reference numbers so people can easily find them (in a book about winston churchill for example the index would include things like "early life", "world war i", or "hitler, adolf"
Caledonia 🏴@varsha_venkat @hey You explained that so much better with correct terminology. I should have looked for responses before I did it myself as a reader 😳🤭
