- I am currently sifting through a lot of useless information to try and
- piece together an archive of University technical reports (abstracts
- and title lists). If you have any lists or abstracts of University
- techreports (or other Research type papers) I would love to hear from
- you.
-
- What I have done so far is now available for searching with WAIS. The
- wais sources are:
-
- 1) The archive sites list (regular posting to comp.doc.techreports):
-
- (:source
- :version 3
- :ip-address "130.194.224.201"
- :ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
- :tcp-port 210
- :database-name "computer-techreports-index"
- :cost 0.00
- :cost-unit :free
- :maintainer "rik.harris@fcit.monash.edu.au"
- :description "Server created with WAIS release 8 b3.1 on Mar 11 17:41:58 1992 by wais@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au
-
- This is a list of about 130 archive sites that maintain computer science
- (and similar) technical reports, for public consumption. This list is
- regularly posted in comp.doc.techreports
- "
- )
-
-
- 2) The titles and authors database (soon to be abstracts):
-
- (:source
- :version 3
- :ip-address "130.194.224.201"
- :ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
- :tcp-port 210
- :database-name "computer-techreports"
- :cost 0.00
- :cost-unit :free
- :maintainer "wais@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
- :description "Server created with WAIS release 8 b3.1 on Mar 11 15:11:53 1992 by wais@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au
-
- This is a database of titles, and authors of approximately 2700
- techreports, preprints, reprints, technical notes, and papers from
- Universities and research institutes from around the world. Now
- contains over 780 abstracts from technical reports. This data is
- available by anonymous ftp (login=anonymous, passwd=email address) from
- daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au:pub/techreports. Any queries, questions, etc
- to rik.harris@fcit.monash.edu.au, or wais@rdt.monash.edu.au.

-
- 3) A great (and large) list of computer-related journal articles from
- Joel Seiferas at Rochester:
-
- (:source
- :version 3
- :ip-address "130.194.224.201"
- :ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
- :tcp-port 210

- :description "Server created with WAIS release 8 b3.1 on Oct 19 22:50:29 1991 by rik@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au
-
- This database contains a list of journal article titles and authors from
- many computing journals. The journals codes and names are also in this
- database, so you can find (for example) the name of the journal with
- the code ACTAINF means, by searching the database for 'acatainf'.
- both the papers list and the journals list are available for ftp from
- cayuga.cs.rochester.edu:pub (where they originally came from), and from
- daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au:pub/techreports/papers (where I am).
