Preparation of personal bibliographies using a large computing facility.
Large modern computing facilities, which normally include text editing, sorting, and searching, are now available to most scientists. Such features are invaluable for a personal bibliography, which may be prepared according to the taste of the user. Our method requires only that the references be less than or equal to 120 or 240 characters (spaces) in length. The references may be written randomly, in which case searching is performed for retrieval, with some order, when searching and sorting may be used for retrieval, or with extensive order, when, in addition, indexes may be prepared by a single command. Two bibliographies with extensive order are described. Suggestions for starting a bibliography by those unfamiliar with computers are given in the Appendix.
