- 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!
