We are happy to announce our speaker for this year:
Connie Binder
“You Can Do It! Maximize Your Data-entry Efficiency!”
Freelance indexers are usually paid piecemeal, whether by the page, word, or project. One way to increase your income is to increase your speed. The more projects you have time for, the more money you can make. This fast-paced session will explore time-saving data entry and editing techniques, including approaching the text; importing lists of terms; editing efficiently; and using abbreviations/acronyms, macros, indexing software functions, and keyboard shortcuts. You will learn tips to help you immediately increase your speed, build more flexibility into your approach to data entry and editing, or learn absolutely nothing new, but leave with the reassurance that you are, indeed, a very efficient indexer.
Connie has been a freelance indexer for over 20 years, indexing scholarly, trade, reference, and kids’ books, in a variety of subject areas. She still gets a thrill when she learns a new technique for speeding up the indexing process.
Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions, and share tips! A board meeting will be held after this, and all attendees are welcome.
Registration information will be available in the coming weeks
