Information Retrieval: preprints

http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/cs/intro.html

Covers indexing, dictionaries, retrieval, content and analysis. Roughly
includes material in ACM Subject Classes H.3.0, H.3.1, H.3.2, H.3.3, and
H.3.4.  For a full description of these subject see:

Archive Description:

Researchers have made their papers available by putting them on personal
web pages, departmental pages, and on various ad hoc sites known only to
cognescenti. Until now, there has been no single repository to which
researchers from the whole field of computing can submit reports.

That is about to change. Through a partnership of ACM, the Los Alamos
e-Print archive, and NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical
Reference Library), an online Computing Research Repository (CoRR) has
been established. The Repository has been integrated into the collection
of over 20,000 computer science research reports and other material
available through NCSTRL and will be linked with the ACM Digital Library.
The Repository is available to all members of the community at no charge.

We encourage you to start using the service right away. It gains in value
as more researchers use it. Submitting your research articles to the
repository will be the surest way to have your work reach a wide audience.
>From the above URL you can:

         * browse the Repository and peruse recent submissions or browse
	   the entire NCSTRL collection 
         * search the Repository or the NCSTRL collection 
         * subscribe to the Repository or the NCSTRL collection, and get
	   regular email notification of new submissions 
         * submit a document to the Repository using web upload, if you
	   have already registered. 
         * get help on many topics, including: 
                - submission, including registration and using email or
		  ftp submissions (which do not require registration) 
                - searching 
                - submitting LaTeX source 
                - other frequently-asked questions 
                - mirror sites, for potentially faster access to the
		  Repository if you are not in North America. 

See <http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/cs/intro.html> to browse or search the
library or to submit new documents.  You can also subscribe to a
notification service.  Authors retain copyright on the papers they submit. 
Additional information on CoRR is available at <http://www.acm.org/corr>.
