ASI is excited to offer the new Online Learning Course, Culinary IndexingFood for Thought with Amy Hall. Since no two cookbooks are the same, each index is custom made, unique to that book.

If the cookbook is for a particular style of eating, like low-fat or gluten-free, how does that impact your indexing decisions? What choices do you make to help readers who are browsing an index vs. searching an index for a specific recipe? Amy Hall will provide food for thought in this look at the interesting work of culinary indexing. http://bit.ly/CulinaryIdx
