Accessing a personalized bibliography with a searchable system on the World Wide Web

Researchers, educator's and land management personnel routinely construct bibliographies to assist them in managing publications that relate to their work. These personalized bibliographies are unique and valuable to others in the same discipline. This paper presents a computer data base system that provides users with the ability to search a bibliography through the World Wide Web (Web). To illustrate this system, a bibliography of publications produced by the USDA Forest Service and its cooperators is used. Users can search the references on the Web using parameters such as date, author, key words, title, or a combination of these fields. This procedure can increase the accessibility and value of personalized bibliographies.
