Index help

The local collection index gives you access to all the existing
entries in the URLib local collection. By clicking the small
square icon of an entry you get the full text of the corresponding
document.


>>> THERE ARE UP TO FIVE OPTIONS TO ACCESS THE ENTRIES.

1. Entry search

The anchor gives access to a search engine.

Sometimes, it may be faster to access an entry by recalling its icon,
this can be done by using the next option.

2. Entries reduced to icons (optional field)

The entries having an icon different from all the other entry icons
are presented. By clicking the icon you access the full text.

At the first access the previous option is useless because you don't
know which document is associated to which icon, in this case, you
should consult the whole entry as in the next option.

3. All the entries in one page

The entries are sorted into alphabetical order based on the citation keys.

Since this page might be large and loading time consuming, an
alternative way to access all the entries is by using the next option.

4. At most ten entries in each page

The entries are sorted into alphabetical order and placed in separate
pages containing at most 10 entries each. The anchor name for each page
is the citation key of the first entry in the page.

Sometimes, the most recent entries are most frequently used, in
this case the last option may be useful.

5. The 5 most recent entries

The 5 most recent entries are presented, the most recent one first. 



>>> EACH ENTRY IS COMPOSED OF Five LINES.

1. The first line shows the entry type and the citation key

2. The second line shows the author name(s). When the first author
   last name is an anchor, this anchor is a link to the author home page.

3. The third line shows the document title.

4. The fourth line shows several fields:
   - the "@" field is a link to the complete bibliographical reference
     (in BibTeX format);
   - the "icon" field (a small square) is a link to the full text document
     itself (the link is relative);
   - the "size" field shows the number of Kbytes occupied by the document,
     i.e., by all the files under the doc directory;
   - the "version" field contains a link to a list of version names
     (the most recent version name first); when the document contains a
     work-in-progress, then the version word is followed by the last change
     date: mm.dd.hh.mm[.ss]; when the document is a frozen one, the version
     word is followed by the word "original";
   - the "download" field (if any) is a link to a single file
     (archive) containing the document;
   - the "rref" field (if any) contains a link to a list of repository names
     (the repositories which are referenced in a relative form, e.g., via a
     relative hyper link (URL) in the current document); the rref word is
     followed by the number of referenced repositories (rref stands for
     relative reference);
   - the "link" field (if any) contains a link to a list of repository names
     (the repositories containing the index of the local collection
     where the current repository is a symbolic link); the link word is
     followed by the number of symbolic links;
   - The "Scooter" field (if any) is a link to Alta Vista's advanced search
     which is intended to check if the corresponding entry has been
     visited by the Alta Vista robot. Once the entry has been accessed
     through this check procedure, the "Scooter" field is removed at the
     next index uptate.

5. The last line shows two fields:
   - the "sites" field is a link to a page showing the sites where
     the document is available;
   - the "statistics" field is a link to a page showing some access
     statistics about the document.

   Following these fields, is the name of the repository
   (four successive directory names) where the document has been
   deposited.
