Abstract

An overview and evaluation of indexes and indexing services that provide access to European Communities’ (EC) information sources. Argues that there is a need for more cross-references from natural phraseology to a harmonized controlled language; that this controlled vocabulary should be precise, comprehensible, and should not give rise to semantic dispute; and that the EC should provide the lead in European indexing generally. Concludes that the growth of English as a teaching medium in Europe will necessitate more provision of English publications, which in turn may afford opportunities for professional indexers.
