iGURU!’s INDEX SYSTEM
​
iGURU!’s Index System offers a unique and easy way to access information in an Age of ‘Big Data’ and increasingly weighted algorithmic searches (by search engines.)
iGURU! Teaching Systems, are powerful ‘gateways’ or ‘portals’ to access information. Our staff source only quality information which are arranged alphabetically by subject matter. With its comprehensive provisions and format, which allows for continual additions.
iGURU! Indexes provide a comprehensive source on a wide range of subjects it can also be a starting point for the structured and ordered search for information in a world where the shear quantity of information (‘Big Data’) is a serious limiting factor for the researcher.
As a result of its unique ‘interlocking’ network of indexes, not only can the researcher investigate a subject in depth, but is able through the indexes, to move easily from subject to subject.
INDEXES
​
Indexes contain information dealing with the subject of the index.
The index is arranged by alphabetically. This heading is in black bold type.
Under the heading are listed the various items. These are arranged alphabetically and are clickable. The reader is therefore able to click and access the relevant piece of information.
Whilst the nature and content of an index will vary from index to index, there are some headings on an index, which you will regularly see on an iGURU! Teaching Systems index. For example, there is usually a ‘Definitions’ bold heading or a ‘Descriptions’ bold heading. There is also normally a ‘Contact iGURU!’ heading. Listed below are some other commonly featured headings.
