ASI Webinar Replay: The Glory and the Nothing of a Name
with Noeline Bridge

The Glory and the Nothing of a Name

with Noeline Bridge

Although most personal names are straightforward to index, those that aren't can pose some vexing and time-consuming problems. Noeline will be guiding participants through the most common problems in indexing them, illustrated by examples from her own indexing, where possible, and otherwise from questions posed on group lists, along with the thinking involved in coming to a decision.

Participants will receive advice from Noeline’s experience regarding

• How to sort out what part of a complex name comes first
• When and how to add or cut parts of shorter or longer names
• When and how to distinguish between different people with similar names, and others who are known by more than one name

Copies of the PowerPoint slides will be distributed to participants before the webinar.

Noeline Bridge has been indexing since 1990. A former library cataloger, she has always been fascinated by names. She has made presentations and published articles and book chapters on the subject. Her edited book, Indexing Names, was published by Information Today, in association with ASI, in 2012.

The webinar originally aired October 20, 2015.
