'There's a call'f roi..l i'{acbdoni.a-, . . '

by Jer n Ilagqer

As noted elselyhere in this issue, the Society nov,' has entriesin a number of directories. Certainly, the entry i\ t]li.e SocieLU

of Ediltot s ft,ee-Lance 1:egiste! is sor ewhat indirect ' It leilds:

"Jean Hagger (follorved by address and phone nuntber) 'Jean is Secretary of the Australian Society ofIndexers and rvitl be pleased to provide you lviththe names and addresses of indexers in specia-lizedfields.

And Jcan has been called on to do iust tha;l

On the several ocaasions, I have repliecl along the followlng lines:

"The SocieLy has a RegisLer of Inclexcrs approved byits panel of Assessors as being suitabfe forrecommendation to inquirers. (Then follolvs informationabout any Registered Indexer with suitable subjectcompetence. )

. . . other membeis have stated that they have hadexper,Lence of indexinF in Iielhs ol intelest toyou but they have not submitted worli for assessmentso the Society h;us no \vay of knclYing the quality ofthe work done. No dlubt you could make someassessment of this if you decide to contact them'(Then follows lnform,ltion about mernbers whoseapplication forns inclicate that they migirt be ofinterest to the inquirer. ) "

I do not go quite as far as the Society of Editors, rvho includethe follorving at the head of their EegisLer:.

"The Society of Editors accepts no responsibility. for, but wonld be interested to hea"r about any bumsteers you may get flon this 1ist."

Again as stated else\vhere in this issue, it $'ould mahe my task mucheasier 1f nlenrbers $'ould do the follolving:

. keep me up-to-d&te t?ith informltion about inciexiugacLivilies,

. try to become a Registered Indexer.

, 1et me knorv if y oLL do Ttot \'/ant yodr name to be givento inquirers.

I{embers vho are unirble to understand my choice of heaaling for thisnote lvi11 get some help froir Bctt'ltlett (v.3, no. 3, Nov. 1979 issue ofthe lleasleLLe" arld more help lrom ltny good non-conformist hymnal.

also give a gieater opllortunity 1or participation by members in allstates. It is lloped bhat the public,!l-ion of the nlolrbcl'ship lisL ry-i11enable menbers to iclentify fe11ow rncmbers in their vicioity, to meeteither foranafly or infornrally, and to vorli to\,,'ards ircreaslng themembershlp so ihat viabl"e grouis crLn be forulecl.

During 19?9, 2 members resiilned and 4 lvere deemed to ha'/eresigned, a.s tileir subscripiions wcre 2 yeirrs in arrears. These losses\yere 1vel1 off:ret by the adc'lition of 6 nelv meirrbers joining during 1979and 5 at lhe beginning of 1980. This increiuse is 1ar:ge1y attr.ibutableto publicity li(:hieved sonre\yhat fortuitously by the Society. First andforenost,..its appearance on tlte programrne of the Bjennial Conference i[Canberra of tn': Libraray Assoclatj.on of Ausirali.r aroused a good cleal ofintel'est and eogendered nenlbershj-p inqulries and applications.SecondIy, it is no\y listed in the following direclories: Aust:ralian booksin print, Bookna:*., Societg of Editols f"eelanee registet: and ttr.LexnntLonalLit eros-g n,arkeb ?lqce.

The Constitution states that 'membership of the Society sha.1l beopen to person-s and institutions eng:r.ged in indexing and to otherslnteTested in pr:omoting the objects of the Society'. Details suppliedon applica"tion forms indicate that the brearkdoivn of iudividual membersinto categorj-es is as fo11olys:

. Fre€lance indexersLibrariansIalormation officers(}3ct in 1i,br a} ies )trditors/j ournalists.Ac'aderoi csCther

Again {ron details supplicd on applica.tion forms, it ls clear thata number of menbers, a-part from those workirrg as freelance indexers, areactively engaged in j.ndexing activities in adciition to theiT noTnla"l \york.The register of subjects shows activity in a wide r'nnge of fields.trlembers are urged to keep the Secreta-ry lnformed of their indexinga"ctivities so that the l'egister of subjects can be kept up-to-date.

Flnally, it is pleasing to note the presence of tv/o EegisteredIndexers amongst the member:ship. Again, members are u.rged to subrnittheir lyork to the Panel of Assessors, oither for assessment or forconment (see ileuslette", v.2, no. 233, Sept. 1978 and v. 3, no. 2, Sept.L979).
