The Routledge Encyclopedia Project: Indexing Tools and Management Techniquwes for Large Documents
University of Guelph Ontario, Canada
This paper describes the development of computerized indexing tools for the Routledge Encyclopedia of Commonwealth Literature. This project was a collaborative effort of the English department and the Humanities Computing support group at the University of Guelph, Canada. It has resulted in the development of indexing tools and large document management techniques that are ideally suited to scholars in the humanities who wish to compile extensive indexes. The techniques and tools described in this paper are comprehensive enough to encompass the majority of indexing needs, easy to use, modest in cost, and available to scholars.
