BASIC INDEXING PRINCIPLES
OPERATION & PURPOSE
STAGE 1: determining the subject
STAGE 2: representing concepts by elements in
the indexing language
STAGE 1
A.
Understanding the document

MOST IMPORTANT !
Cannot add input at output stage
Unreasonable saving in indexing increases cost in
retrieval
IF NOT INDEXED PROPERLY A RESOURCE MAY BE
LOST FOREVER
