HOW TO YBK
For your reference
 
Reference pages in the yearbook might not be the most beautiful part of your book, but it will be the most-looked-at section. Put in the effort to make it worthwhile.
 
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
 
• Stay up to date. Have a staff member (or two) keep in touch with coaches and sponsors for team and club rosters and scoreboards. Check social media, listen to announcements and check in with members to keep information current.
• Think about the colophon soon. The colophon gives your readers the technical details of the book. It also gives your staff the chance to explain the theme or background. See this checklist to cross off the details.
• Fill the empty space. Add details to the group photos by including a quote and mugshot from a club president or sports captain. Consider listing any records an organization or individual set that year. But, make note that all teams and organizations should receive the same level of attention.
• Start running the index now. The index is a great way to find where each student is featured in the book. eDesign makes this easy with Index Builder. See it in action.
 
Don’t miss out on the additional resources in the People and Index section of the curriculum. Refer to these as you wrap up the reference section. Take a look.
