    What is the current status of the indexing for our Journal articles? 

    I greatly appreciated the Excel file that was recently produced, how far along (or back) is the project going? 

    Is this still in Excel (which I would prefer)?

    The Journal Index project has a long way to go, but it is underway and we will need volunteers.
    The work at the moment is in Excel. There are 42 years of Journals (1979-2020), of which 2 are done and 5 more underway by the Education Committee. We will use these early ones to refine the process used for the rest of the years.
    Volunteers will be asked to index a year. Each volunteer will receive a pdf containing 12 issues of the journal, as well as a corresponding Excel spreadsheet and a 5-page Indexing Guidelines document. The work consists of correcting authornames and page numbers, scanning each technical article and writing a short description of what's in the article. Each year contains about 80 technical articles.
    Care to volunteer?
