ANNOUNCE: Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies

COLLECTION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE BIBLIOGRAPHIES


A collection of bibliographies in various fields of computer science
is available via anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web.


The bibliographies contain about 290,000 references, most of which are
references to journal articles, conference papers or technical
reports.


The collection has been formed by using various freely accessible
services in the Internet (anonymous ftp, mailserver, wais, telnet) and
converting each bibliography into a uniform BibTeX format.


It is organized in files containing references to a (more or less)
specific area within computer science. All files containing
bibliographic data are compressed with gzip (extension ".gz").


The bibliographies are accessible


via WWW: http://www.ira.uka.de/ftp/ira/bibliography/index.html


Please read the introduction in that document. There you also
                  find hints on how to search the bibliographies.




via FTP: ftp.ira.uka.de[129.13.10.90]:pub/bibliography


                  Please read the README file in that directory


                  To retrieve files from the ftp server type (alternatives in
                  parentheses):


                  ftp ftp.ira.uka.de (ftp 129.13.10.90)
                  ftp (anonymous)
                  <your mailaddress>
                  cd pub/bibliography
                  get README
                  ...
                  quit




The collection is mirrored at various sites around the world. The
mirror sites are listed in the introduction to the collection (or in
the README file for FTP access).


Here are some statistics on the database:


Table 1 : This table shows the number of references for each area within
computer science and the number of those references which contain
                                                  abstracts or keywords.
