The Benefit of Networking with Indexers

Want to talk about indexing stuff? It takes another indexer to understand your work. And indexers are the best at answering your work-related questions, whether it's about your software or just how to handle that tricky name. Join the ASI Discussion List to post your questions, hear responses from other indexers, and benefit from the knowledge of the community.
