Students can now register for ASI’s Principles of Indexing
ASI’s new training course, Principles of Indexing, is open for registration. This curriculum, written by a team of indexers led by Shana Milkie, has been designed to provide students with the knowledge, competence, and professional readiness needed to be a working indexer, according to ASI President Jen Weers.
The new program, Principles of Indexing, opened for registration on February 1. Benefits of the new course include a digital learning environment, student-instructor engagement, and a modern curriculum.

This course replaces Training in Indexing, which ASI has licensed from Britain’s Society for Indexers (SI) for many years. Training in Indexing will remain available until all currently enrolled learners who wish to do so have completed the course. A transition path is available for students who recently enrolled in Training in Indexing. Contact the ASI Office to ask about your options.
Jen Weers and ASI extend appreciation to Shana Milkie and her team, Rose Coad, Meghan Miller Brawley, Carol Reed, Jessica Siddiqi, and Diana Witt for their dedicated work on this years-long project. Appreciation also goes to members of the committee who did so much work in getting this initiative started including Anne Fifer, Becky Hornyak, Fred Leise, Rudy Leon, Linda Mamassian, Annie Rehill, Laurel Rush, Estalita Slivoskey, and Carolyn Weaver. An additional thank you to the many testers who helped in the development.
