                USENIX Online Library/Index
What Is It:

     The USENIX online index is an electronically available
     list of papers published by the USENIX Association and
     related groups.  The index is kept as a simple ASCII
     file, in refer/bib format, sorted by author, and con-
     tains information about papers published in USENIX
     conference and workshop proceedings, newsletters, jour-
     nal, and the like.

     The index is updated approximately monthly.

How to Get the Index:

     The index is available online from UUNET, either via a
     mail server or anonymous ftp.  The index is about 200K,
     and available only in its entirety.

     To get it as mail, send mail to library@uunet.uu.net
     with "send bibliography" as the contents of your message.

     To get it via ftp from ftp.uu.net, login as "anonymous"
     with your email address as the password.  Then:

        ftp> cd library
        250 CWD command successful.
        ftp> get bibliography
      
     This help file can be retrieved with "send help" or as
     the ftp file "help.bibliography".

     (There is no person associated  with the library address
     and it will never be read by human eyes.)

How to Access Information:
      
     To build the indices so you can easily access information,
     run "indxbib" on the bibliography: indxbib file.name.  
     You can then pull information from the file by running
     "lookbib".  You can either build refer files or run 
     lookbib interactively.

     For example, the following commmand would put all entries 
     which refer to Smith into a file called stuff:
     echo smith | lookbib bibliography > stuff.

     Or you could interact with the index by saying:
     lookbib bibliography  

     It will ask you if you want instructions when it starts, 
     answer yes.  Then at the prompt, for example:

     >smith

     will list references to smith (upper/lower case doesn't
     matter).  

To Get an Online Paper:

     As of this date, we have not yet set up the online papers.  
     When this capability is provided, we will announce it on
     the net and this document will be updated with retrieval
     information.
