Featuring hundreds of thousands of contributors, the second half of Volume V begins the Author Index, where users can search for all works written by a specific contributor. The Author Index continues through Volume VI and the first part of Volume VII.
The Publisher Name Index follows in Volume VII, and each entry provides important company details such as Publisher Name, ISBN Prefixes, Division, CIP Identifier, SAN, Distributors, and Contact Information.
