Eduardo is right; electronic indices are more effective than paper ones. They can also be generated semiautomatically from electronic documents, although I am told that they do require a substantial amount of human intervention to yield a good result. (Does anyone have advice on which software to use?) The editors of any recent journal certainly have all of the articles in electronic form, so a volunteer could arrange with them to index a few years' worth of magazine. The index would be publishable in either paper or electronic form. Want to see your name in print? Apologies to unamused Conchlers for the recent jokes--I sometimes get a bit "happy" on painkillers. The tooth will come out on Monday. I envy Eduardo, who can have dental attention without waiting for weeks first! Andrew K. Rindsberg Geological Survey of Alabama
