酝酿已久的《全国报刊索引》(以下简称《索引》)电脑编排本终于在1991年问世了。与手工编排的《索引》相比,《索引》在规范化著录、增强检索功能、缩短时差等诸方面都有了长足的进步。但令人失望的是:《索引》仍然缺乏最重要的辅助索引——主题索引。使这部在国内较为权威的索引顿然失色。 The long-awaited publication of the National Press Index (hereinafter referred to as “index”) was finally published in 1991. Compared with the manual “indexing”, “index” has made great progress in standardization of recording, enhanced search capabilities, shorten the time difference and so has made great progress. What disappoints, though, is that the index still lacks the most important secondary index - thematic index. Make this index more authoritative in the country suddenly pale.
