Using an Index

This guide demonstrates how to effectively utilize an index in books to look up individuals, specifically focusing on George Murray as an example in "Outward Dreams: Black Inventors and Their Inventions" by Jim Haskins. It illustrates how to navigate the index listing, highlighting entries with multiple pages. By selecting the entry with the most pages, readers can access comprehensive information rather than brief references. This method enhances research efficiency, especially when exploring topics related to significant figures in Black history and innovation.
