[comp.org.ieee] IEEE journal indexes in an machine readable format

raob@mullian.ee.mu.OZ.AU (richard oxbrow) (01/15/91)

	Has the ``IEEE'' thought about setting up an ftp site containing an
	index or list of contents of alls its journals on the Internet ?
	(Having the abstracts would be -* even  nicer *-, laws permitting)

	Or maybe making the information available on optical media or 
	mag. tape.  

	Does anybody have any thoughts on this ?

And the same question for ACM, SIAM, or even some conferences? It would be
very nice if one could simply list the index on a machine and then simply go
to library to pick up the wanted article, wouldn't it?

PS: If this is impossible due to copyright, did somebody consider a
possibility to order abstracts and indexes of a journal (magazin, ...) to 
receive them through e-mail? (Of course for the lower price?)
