This participatory workshop brings to life the material covered in Do Mi Stauber’s book, Facing the Text. We survey the practical processes that indexers follow as they interpret texts and create index structures. The workshop uses examples and hands-on exercises from a range of real texts and indexes.

“Do Mi is a delightful speaker. I enjoyed her enthusiasm and good humor.” “Excellent examples, well-prepared, fluid and invigorating. No dozing here!! Do Mi is an excellent teacher.” “What I’ve learned today will help my in both my indexing and writing. An excellent presentation, alive, vigorous, kept interest up, involved all participants.” “…It is very rare that one becomes a much better indexer from one day to the next. But that is what happened when I took your course. I found I could make decisions more easily and more confidently. There was a difference between the “pre-Do Mi” work and the “post-Do Mi” work. And the benefit has continued with my subsequent indexes.” –Janet Russell, Wilson Award winner 2004 “I’ve not heard such a dynamic speaker in a long time…Her electricity charged us all.” –Jacob Schulzinger |
