Created an index for 20 pages of a psychology textbook, including main text, chapter headings, sub-headings, footnotes, bibliography, graphs, tables, charts, maps, photographs, and similar illustrations. This assignment aimed to familiarize the student with the indexing process and general formatting standards.

Created a thesaurus of 50+ vocabulary words in the records management profession. This assignment was the focal point of this summer class and required a lot of research and strict adherence to the thesaurus standards and format.

Evaluated an abstracting and indexing product, Book Review Index, examining its features and usability. This assignment was the final product for this class and required the student to use their knowledge in both evaluating abstracts and indexes and creating them to examine a real-life product.
