Automatic indexing of personal bibliographies
Bridges KW. 1970. Automatic indexing of personal bibliographies. BioScience. 20(2):94-97
A personal bibliography, as a set of references to some subject, is common enough to be found in most scientists' offices. Typically, this consists of a card file containing separate entries with at least the authors, title, source, and date of publication for each reference. Commonly, such a bibliography is an index to some body of literature although it is certainly not limited to this use. The effectiveness of the index depends on the willingness of an individual to spend time to develope an indexing scheme and , if necessary, to produce additional entries to implement it. Applying minimal effort, such an index consists of the cards simply ordered by the first author or some subject classification scheme where abn entry belongs to only one class. This paper will discuss the application of computer processing to maintain a personal bibliography and produce a sophisticated set of printed indexes.
