9.37 Combined entries

In order to keep your index as short as possible, combine entries for closely related concepts. For example,

• Financial management, 35, 45
• Financial systems, 56, 67

can be amalgamated to form one entry:

• Financial management and systems, 35, 45, 56, 67

If the number of subentries is particularly long, the index may be too detailed, as in the following example:

• Engineering courses
  • chemical, 46
  • civil, 47
  • electrical, 48
  • marine, 49

A combined entry suffices:

• Engineering courses, 46–49
