[CALIBK12] Fwd: Web site indexing presentation in San Mateo

[Thomas Kaun]

Hi, folks.
I took Heather's course on web indexing a couple years ago and learned quite
a bit--updating my site index in the process. She's doing a FREE
presentation for the local chapter of the American Society of Indexers on
Sunday, November 11, 2:00-4:00 p.m. If you have a fairly large web site and
have wondered about the best approach to indexing it, this would be a good
presentation to attend.

Hello Thomas,
....
I will be giving a short presentation on web site indexing in the San
Francisco Bay area next month. Although it will be nothing new to you, you
might want to recommend it to your colleagues at other libraries:

"Creating Web Site A-Z Indexes" presented by Heather Hedden
A free event by the Golden Gate Chapter of the American Society of Indexers
Sunday, November 11, 2:00 – 4:00 pm
City of San Mateo Public Library: Laurel Room

Program Summary
A-Z indexes are the standard means of searching within books, manuals,
and online help, but are often needlessly replaced by on-site search
engines when it comes to web sites and intranets. This presentation
shows the advantages of A-Z indexes for web sites and how and when to
implement them. Topics include:
    * Examples of web site A-Z indexes
    * Benefits of A-Z indexes and the types of sites for which they
are most suitable
    * Demonstrations of how to use two different web site indexing
tools, HTML Indexer and XRefHT
    * Special considerations in indexing web sites
    * A discussion of other kinds of indexes, databases, and taxonomies
