Volunteer service to indexers
Seth Maislin, local indexer and pres-elect of the American Society of Indexers, is looking for someone to help him update the thesaurus section of the ASI Web site. Specifically, he says, "I am interested in having this information rewritten or replaced with something more current. While the theories behind thesauri-building techniques may be the same, I imagine that the technologies and applications have been revisited several times over the past 10 years." So I asked if he would be interested in students doing this, and he said "I like the idea that one [or a couple] of your students could write something. Naturally their names would appear as authors and/or contributors. Can you ask them and see what turns up? I'd be happy to talk to someone." If you are interested, let me know, and I will let him know. I suspect the time frame is pretty liberal.
