       Announcing the ACM SIGGRAPH Online Bibliography Project
		Stephen Spencer  "(biblio@siggraph.org)"

     A new resource for researchers is now available to the computer
     graphics community.  Over 15,000 unique bibliographic references from
     the computer graphics field have been compiled into a single database
     for use by students, researchers, and the computer community in
     general.

     The project started with the DEC online computer graphics bibliography,
     which covered the years 1976 through 1986, and added the contributed
     bibliographic databases of a number of individuals, expanding the years
     covered as well as the sources of information.

     This database includes references from conferences and workshops
     worldwide and from a variety of publications, from magazines and
     journals to books dating back as far as the late 19th century.  The
     majority of the major journals and conference proceedings between the
     mid-1970's and 1992 are listed here.

     The database is formatted in the BibTeX bibliography entry format, an
     easy-to-read and understand ASCII format.  It is organized into files by
     year (except for the entries prior to 1975, which are collected into one
     file by themselves).

     A set of tools for manipulating and searching the bibliography database
     is also available for downloading.

     The database is available for anonymous FTP from "siggraph.org"
     "(128.248.245.250)" in the "publications/bibliography" directory.
     Use "anonymous" as the username and your electronic mail address
     as the password to gain entry to the FTP area on this machine.
     Please download and examine the file "READ_ME" contained in the
     "publications/bibliography" directory for more specific information
     concerning the database.

     This project is an ongoing concern:  We plan to expand the bibliography,
     both keeping it up-to-date as well as filling in missing pieces,
     large or small, and polishing and refining the format of the existing
     database.  In addition, plans to provide interactive online searching of
     the database are underway.  Alternative distribution channels are also
     being considered.

     Volunteers are always welcome.  Contact "biblio@siggraph.org" for more
     information on what needs to be done.

     Questions, corrections, suggestions, and contributions of material to the
     database can be directed to:  "biblio@siggraph.org"  on the Internet.

Happy holidays!
