Indexing policies
Education Management Information Exchange (EMIE) is an information service
for managers in Local Education Authorities. We maintain a database of
education management documents which are searched and indexed using terms
from our own thesaurus.
There are two distinct groups of users of the database; the information
officers within EMIE, and our external clients.
We are developing an indexing policy to guide staff in the selection of
terms: issues such as Exhaustivity, Specificity and the use of Identifiers
will be included. We also plan to write notes of guidance for our external
users to help them search the database effectively. We would be interested
to see examples of indexing policies, and user guides, devised for a similar
purpose.
If you have such a policy and are willing to send it, you can either e-mail
it to me ([log in to unmask]) or fax/post it to me at the address below.
Thanks in advance.
