“…In the more traditional approach, terms or sets can be combined using the Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) but many more recently developed systems (or program versions) use alternative procedures, often based on inventive artificial intelligence algorithms.

Personal bibliographic systems (PBS) manage the input, storage, retrieval and output of bibliographic references, allowing for a number of different document types to accommodate for journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations, reports, unpublished documents, etc. Unlike general purpose database management packages they are made to measure for bibliographic information, featuring amongst other things a variety of import profiles for records downloaded from the major commercial databases and automatic generation of dozens of different output styles, including those used by the most popular journals. This paper concentrates on low-cost mainstream bibliographic software for personal use or smaller libraries. Full-scale integrated library automation systems and online public access catalogue (OPAC) software, which specialise in finding a specific title within a vast amount of book-type references, are not discussed. This paper does not review or compare individual products but focuses on the various characteristics which, when available, make a PBS attractive. Special attention is paid to structural flexibility, retrieval options, input, display and output formats, and interface-and management-related issues. A productindependent table of desirable features is included as an appendix.
