We're looking for basic training in indexing, either a course in the San
Francisco Bay Area or a trainer who would come on site to train 5 writers.
Any recommendations?
********************************
Yep! Our own TECHWR-L member, Lori Lathrop does great indexing
training on site. AT&T used Lori to train our whole tech writing
department,
and we ACTUALLY ENJOYED it! She has really made indexing much
more fun and interesting to me, that's for sure!
We have a Master Index that pulls together about 100 different manual
indexes. Lori helped us plan toward meshing each index reference
with not only its own manual, but also with the Master Index. That's a
higher level of technical requirement, and Lori was thoroughly conversant
with this odd requirement.

I have no other connection with Lori except that she continues to
help me with indexing questions, such as the one I recently posted,
to which she replied today on TECHWR-L.

Dick Dimock Artfully senior tech writer at
NCR Corporation in lovely coastside
El Segundo, CA where our building painting is
over, and outside my 16th floor window,
I notice a swaying rope. The window cleaners?
Yep.
The 20-foot wide stage rolls down past
my window.
A window cleaning man rides the stage,
legs wide and loose, like a sailor riding
a pitching, rolling ship.
He's wearing a Beach tee shirt, has huge
yellow radio headphones over his ears,
and big, black, wrap-around sunglasses.
His sun-bleached hair flys in the breeze.
Just SO California!
I wave out to him as he rolls by.
He waves back.
And on down the building he goes...
