- Abstract
The article reports about the Association of Southern African Indexers and Bibliographers (ASAIB) Conference. The annual ASAIB conference was held in Johannesburg on 16 and 17 September 2004. The two-day Conference firstly entailed a morning of demonstrations, which took place at EISA, formerly the Electoral Institute of Southern Africa. The second day, hosted by the American Cultural Center, comprised no less than eight papers, a panel discussion and a video conference-- a full program, which left the delegates stimulated by interesting topics and fresh insights into a variety of subjects, be they of historical, philosophical, or technical nature. A number of factors which influence the indexer and therefore also the creation of indexes were considered, such as time constraints, payment structures, training, varied approaches to indexing, and contact with both indexers and publishers. Academics and indexers should cooperate by implementing current research when indexing. E-books have not been as successful as was predicted, probably due to poor display technology and other factors.
