Indexing for the humanities

Author

  • Helen R. Tibbo

Abstract

Humanists use a wide variety of textual, graphic, and aural materials in their research. Each type of material presents special indexing challenges. Research into the nature of these materials and humanists' information seeking behaviors indicate that indexing and surrogation models from the sciences are no longer adequate to meet the humanist's information access needs. New controlled vocabularies and indexing frameworks that reflect the nature of humanistic scholarship are needed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
