Abstract

Indexes that appear in both print and online forms raise questions about how to present the same information in two different formats. My discussion of the B.C.

Hansard uses to publish indexes online as hyperlinked, back-of-the-book style indexes, facilitated by dedicated book indexing software and an index conversion utility with customized software.
