in the Pacific Northwest

The following are meetings that have been mentioned on the regional listserv, INDEX-PNW. For more information about one of these meetings, please contact the person whose name appears with the announcement.

Eugene, OR

Eugene Peer Review and Discussion

The Eugene-area indexers will hold their monthly peer review on the first Tuesday of each month, from 10 am until noon. It will be held at the 5th Street Market (296 E. 5th Street) in the "back room" of the main café level (on the 5th Street side). Some of us like to arrive a bit early for general socializing and/or stay for lunch for more of the same!


Please RSVP and send indexes for review (if you have one) attached, in RTF (Rich Text Format) to Cathy Martz by the Sunday afternoon before the meeting. If you can't send an index in time, you can bring 4-5 copies to the meeting for a "cold" review.

[If you have no index of your own making, run copies of a short published index, review and mark up your copy. Then compare what your own review missed by having the group review the index. Ask your questions.]

Newcomers and drop-ins are always welcome!

We usually review two indexes or so in advance for discussion during the meeting and sometimes address an indexing topic as well. Often we go to lunch beforehand.
