American Society for Indexing Heartland Chapter The Heartland Chapter of the American Society for Indexing (ASI), founded in 1992, was officially recognized in 1994 and serves ASI members mainly from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Our members include both beginners and experienced indexers, as well as indexers in a wide range of specialty areas, such as technical documents, scholarly works, textbooks, web sites, and legal and medical materials. We hold two annual meetings featuring speakers and workshops of interest to indexers. Topics have addressed the craft of indexing, starting and operating an indexing business, marketing, and relations with publishers and editors. Peer review sessions--where we critique one another's indexes--sharpen our skill and efficiency. Our electronic newsletter is published twice yearly and we host an email list for announcements. Membership is not required for subscription to the email list--anyone may join and receive our announcements. The newsletter normally is sent to members but is available on this website to anyone. If you need an indexer or would like to become an indexer, our officers and members will be eager to help you get what you need.
