Abstract: The procedures used to produce the index to volume 20 (1969) of American Documentation are described to demonstrate a system for computer‐assisted indexing and bibliography production developed at the Columbia University School of Library Service. Only the subject entries and the input keying require human intervention; all other entries and all page layout and formatting are then produced automatically. Production and other statistics are given. The system is suited for indexes to single journals, to groups of journals, and to the literature of a discipline. The system is demonstrated to be economic in comparison to currently used manual methods.
