SPANISH LANGUAGE INDEXING

We specialize in the creation of indexes in Spanish for textbook, trade, and scholarly publishers in addition to serving packager needs. Textbooks include the expanding area of business texts in Spanish (see lists of titles for examples).

Please see the FAQ: Indexing in Spanish link for treatment of specific issues related to Spanish-language publishing in the United States.

Our language services have been expanded to include the indexing of French, Portuguese, and Italian college textbooks. We have offered indexing to international NGOs for emergency manuals and other types of guides.

Selected and representative titles covered in our nineteen years of indexing in Spanish are presented below, by category.
