Many of the states in the United States of America produce indexes to their Acts or state codes. There are also a large number of commercially produced indexes. The State of Iowa has an impressive subject index. To name just two other examples in addition to Iowa Subject Index and United States Code Annotated , most of the various codes of the state of Illinois have indexes and in Wisconsin, the staff of the Reviser of Statutes Bureau produce and maintain an index to the Wisconsin Statutes. (1) Like many states in the United States of America, legislation in Iowa is arranged and presented in the form of a "code” . The Iowa code is extensively indexed: the tables and index volume of the code includes a "detailed index” and "skeleton index” . The code and its indexes are available for purchase in print form and available free of charge electronically via the internet. (2) In printed, published form, the detailed index is over 800, double-columned pages.(3) The skeleton index is much shorter: about 30 double-columned pages.(4) The skeleton index is a quick guide to the main headings related to a particular subject area. After each heading is a locator reference to a chapter or chapters of the code or, in three instances, a cross-reference to another heading in the skeleton index The detailed index has many double-columned pages of entries for the main headings. Headings have two levels of sub-headings, which themselves are followed by either crossreferences to other headings or locator references to chapters or provisions of the code itself.
