We are working on a new library catalog retrieval system
which you may enjoy using for its own sake (it includes
an e-mail facility that sends you your search results--
great for doing research and building bibliographies).
Behind the scenes are a number of features which make use of
SNOBOL4 and Icon programs:
The catalog update system is a SNOBOL4 program which adds,
changes, and deletes records in the master files.
The "Author Browse" feature searches a file built with an
icon parser. The search algorithm itself, while written in C,
is based on a search algorithm in the Icon Programming Library.
The address for the catalog is:
