My best advice to any aspiring indexer in the Pacific Northwest:

1.  Subscribe to Index-NW.

2.  Join ASI and become active in the Pacific NW chapter.  Since the bylaws
amendment passed, you can now join ASI as an Introductory Member for $85, as
long as you haven't been an ASI member for the last 5 years.  You get all
Basic Membership benefits for the first two years, letting you "try out" ASI
at a reduced rate to see if it's for you.

3.  Check out all the indexing resources on the ASI web page at
www.asindexing.org

Just FYI, the Pacific Northwest Chapter is one of the youngest ASI chapters,
established in 1996.   And I'm happy to announce that as of April 30, we are
now  the second largest chapter, second only to Washington, D.C.!
