Time is money, and indexers are business people. We all want to work quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality. NASCAR drivers don't win races because they drive carelessly and cut corners, or because they only drive in easy races. They win because they're good, they're fast, and they're good at being fast. Indexers can do that too. In this webinar, we'll cover philosophical aspects of speed in indexing; the baseline requirements an indexer needs for speed; and actual speed-producing skills and practices.

Kate is a founding memberof the Institute for Certified Indexers (ICI).
