Title
Indexer nascitur, not fit : Lewis Carroll as indexer again
Source
Indexer. 20(1996) no.1, S.11-13
Year
1996
Abstract
The author Lewis Carroll produced humorous indexes to his late novels, childhood magazines, and to Tennyson's poem 'In Memoriam'. He also produced an indexing system for his personal correspondence. Details the procedure he followed in this letter register and reports on a study of it which shows that he employed, in embryonic form, 20th century database concepts
