WashU Libraries Virtual Book Club: Index, A History of the Online
If you’ve ever written a research paper, looked up a recipe, consulted a dictionary, or just needed to check on something you’re sure was in a book, you’ve used an index. These lists of words are an indispensable part of navigating the information landscape, but have you ever given a thought of just how the index came to be?
Join us for a discussion of the book Index, A History of the by Dennis Duncan and delve into the fascinating story of how information is structured (it’s a fun read; we promise!) along with a look at some historical examples.
