Abstract
An index, as the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary puts it, is ‘that which serves to direct to a particular fact or conclusion’. Its first purpose is to indicate the existence and the location of every item of information in the field it is designed to cover. Its mission is to establish contact between searcher and information sought, exactly, exhaustively, and expeditiously.Keywords
