Yearbook Publishing: Adding an Index
July 26th, 2008
Often, yearbook publishing preparations can get pretty stressful. One way to ensure that everything runs smoothly is to have an index that you update throughout the year. This is a great way to make sure that you have included everyone on the school roster and are able to find where they are in the yearbook instantly.
An index can be invaluable when you are in those last few days before yearbook publishing begins. The proofing that goes on is intense and making sure that you haven`t forgotten a single student or teacher is vital.
Rather than compile your yearbook publishing index at the last minute, it`s recommended that you do this early in the year. Get a copy of the school staff list as well as the enrollment list to be sure you have everyone included. Double check the spelling of students` names to avoid problems and then make a master list in alphabetical order. When a photo is added to the yearbook, write the page number beside the appropriate names on the list.
This process will make it easier for students and teachers to find each other within the yearbook and can be finalized in the last days before the yearbook publishing begins.
