Abstract
Since the purpose of an index is to retrieve information rapidly, the index must be closely correlated with the objectives of its users (2). An index may deal with general or specialized information. Examples within the field of agriculture range from the computerized Catalog and Index (CAIN, AGRICOLA) for the Bibliography of Agriculture (3) to the table of contents of the Pisum Newsletter. The scope of subject matter is the most important determinant of the method and format of indexing.
