Summary: Pointer to e-mail-accessible bibliographic database in the field
         of Artificial Intelligence (annual reminder).

The LIDO MAILSERVER for AI literature has now been in operation for two years
at the University of Saarbruecken, Germany. The system allows for the retrieval
of bibliographic information on AI-related publications via electronic mail.
The references are returned in LaTeX (Bibtex) format or in a refer-like format.
As of Jan. 1992, nearly 25.000 entries are contained in its database, with an
annual increase of 25%. About 4000 bibliographic requests from 40 countries are
currently handled each year. Since 1991, the LIDO bibliographic mailserver has
been included in the NSF Internet Resource Guide.

Queries to the bibliographic database may refer to the author name(s), the
title, and the year of publication. Substring search and regular expressions
(egrep) are possible. Global keywords or classification hierarchies cannot be
accessed. Users who already have a certain overview of a field will thus
probably profit more from the LIDO MAILSERVER than novices familiarizing
themselves with a new area.

For more information on this service, send the following e-mail message:

The body of the message should be empty.
