Abstract

Alexandre Grandmaître and Martine Rocheleau share their insights on the evolution of indexing at Canada’s lower house of Parliament, the House of Commons. They note the impact of a recent change to an integrated system of recording, publishing, and managing parliamentary information, which has turned traditional indexing into information management, and the new and interesting challenges that parliamentary indexers will face going forward.
