Notas del editor

  1. (confusion reigns over index vs. site map vs. A-Z vs. search) Locator is url (link) (BoB indexes can have multiple page numbers as locators) (unlike users of book indexes) (unlike in site maps and imposter indexes) (index is navigation tool)
  2. Current students have no homepage or place on the site. Drives need for index.
  3. Uses page names as terms Repeats hierarchy of site but does not organize information hierarchically by any other values (importance)
  4. Usually generated automatically How can you tell? Telltale signs?
  5. Simmons.edu email can get forwarded after graduation
