.Caveat statement on the Directory itself:

The PNW Chapter encourages each publisher to discuss projects with indexers and confirm appropriate qualifications."

Style Sheet for the Online Directory

• Main entry will use business name with a cross-reference from personal name to business name. Place personal name in full on second line of entry. If no business name exists, place name in first line of entry.

• No cross-reference will be used when business name starts with the indexer's last name.

• For addresses with post office boxes in the US, use "PO" (not "P.O.") for consistency.

• Spell out street, drive, road, court, etc. Include zip code.

• Canadian addresses may use the format as follows:
.......Business Name
.......Name
.......street address
.......city, province, postal code
.......Canada
.......(....) 345-1180
.......your@emailaddress.com
.......http://www.yourwebURL.com

.......Name, Your. See Company Name
.......(if applicable)

• There are no alternative phone numbers or email addresses. Choose one. No fax numbers, please. If the client wishes to fax you, they will ask for that number.

• Updating an entry may be done at any time. Announcements to encourage renewal of entries will go out on the PNW listserv each Spring.

• Non-members will be deleted annually, with warning, each Spring.

• In the Specialties and Skills Directory, entries will be listed under the business name only, with a link to the indexer contact information in the alphabetic listings. When reviewing an entry, always check that the links to each part of the Directory work.
