2. Why are indexing rules important when filing names alphabetically?
A filer needs to know how to select the indexing units in a filing segment. Written rules provide a guide to a filer for determining the indexing units consistently. If filing is performed consistently and fast, accurate retrieval is more likely in an alphabetic file.
