- The great majority of researchers have a personal bibliographic
index, but only a minority have a computerised version. During
the creation of a computerised index, researchers often encounter
a number of problems - what type of index to choose, how to structure
it and decide on content, and which hardware and software to
use. This survey of the options open to researchers, and of the
experiences of individual researchers in developing personal
indexes for their own work, is a source of advice for anyone
contemplating the improvement their present research aids; this
book looks at actual usage (and costs) of systems, and reviews
the potential advantages of the computerisation of personal indexes.
