LitServer:


A Mailserver for Bibliographic References
in Computer Science




By sending a mail to the address of the mailserver
(bibserv@ira.uka.de) anyone can search a bibliographic database for
references to literature in various fields of Computer Science.


The search modus is word based and allows to search in certain fields
(such as author, title, year, etc.). Furthermore logical combination
(and, or, not) of search criteria are possible.


Found references are sent back to the client. Reference format,
compression, encoding and maximum mail size can be controlled by the
client to some extent.
