Meet a Fellow Indexer: Lisa Ryan
The author of this blog, Lisa Ryan, was featured in the Spring 2015 Heartland Chapter Newsletter of the American Society for Indexing (ASI). The link to the article is below. “When Lisa isn’t indexing and abstracting books, she’s writing them,” the article says. “I have written two young adult novels and three screenplays, and I am working to get these published or produced.” The article gives her background as a journalist before changing careers to library science. Her biggest influence, she says, was her mother, who was a middle school librarian before retiring.
She earned her Master of Science in Library Science Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She worked as an Indexer/Abstracter for the National Association of Home Builders, then as an Indexer for the U.S. Department of Transportation, both in Washington, D.C. She founded and developed Stellar Searches LLC in 2007, focusing on research and online searches and then expanded into indexing and abstracting. She joined ASI shortly thereafter.
Lisa focuses on back-of-the-book, periodical, newspaper, and database indexing and her specialties include science and technology, social science, education, and scholarly works, but she is open to indexing and abstracting a variety of topics.
