Judith McConville joins a select group in
earning the Certificate of Completion
from the American Society for Indexing
for Training in Indexing. Assessment
criteria for the course states: "Candidates
must achieve a pass in each of the three
formal examinations in order to be
awarded the Certificate of Completion.
Successful candidates are not classified
into levels of achievement: there are no
"distinctions" and no grades. The
standard required to pass the
Examinations is high: this is deliberate
and necessary. The aim is to enable
successful candidates to enter the
commercial world and to practice
competently. The examinations are not
competitive, but as a measure of
professional and vocational proficiency it
is not possible to scrape through with low
marks."

Society for Indexing.
By Paula McCoy, Co-Editor

biologist specializing in the diagnosis and
treatment of infectious disease. She has
also been trained in the detection of agents
of bioterrorism. She says that when she
began her career as a laboratory scientist
more than 30 years ago, “I could never

I’ve personally witnessed the evolution of
dangerous microorganisms that have
developed resistance to most of the
antimicrobials available today.” She also
notes the huge increase in the use of
technology over the years, from automated
instruments to specialized computer
software.
