Indexed Sequential File Organization combines sequential and indexed methods. Records are stored in a linear order, but an index is maintained that points to the physical location of each record. This speeds up access since the index provides direct pointers to the data, making it more efficient than pure sequential access. This method is especially useful when you want both sequential processing and random access capabilities.
