The Indexing Society of Canada/Société canadienne d'indexation (ISC/SCI) was established in 1977 as Canada's national association of indexers (professionals who create indexes for books, periodicals, web sites, and more). Originally known as the Indexing and Abstracting Society of Canada/Société canadienne pour l'analyse de documents (IASC/SCAD), its name was changed in 2006 to reflect the fact that indexing is the major specialty of its members; however, members maintain a variety of skill sets. ==History== Although Canada’s national indexing society was formally established in 1977, its origins go back to the early seventies. When the Index Committee of the (Bibliographical Society of Canada ) held its first executive meeting on March 20, 1971, in Toronto, it was resolved that
An “index training workshop pilot project” was later set up in co-operation with the School of Library Science (now the Faculty of Information) at the University of Toronto.〔Peter Greig, “Book Indexing in Canada,” ''The Indexer'', 8(3), April 1973, 164-71, quoted in Hazel K. Bell, “History of Societies of Indexers, Part II: Three Affiliations,” ''The Indexer'', 20(4), October 1997, 212-15, p. 214.〕 In March 1977, the Committee on Bibliographical Services for Canada (CBSC) hosted an indexing and abstracting workshop in the National Library of Canada (now Library and Archives Canada). Attendees “noted the absence of a specific forum for abstracters and indexers in Canada, and recommended that such an association be formed.” The CBSC then sponsored an Open Forum for Indexers and Abstracters on June 12, 1977, at the Canadian Library Association conference in Montreal. This meeting led to the establishment of IASC/SCAD.〔Peter Greig, in G.
