Subject:
Idea worksheet for the Bibilography database.
1.
The bibliographic database is being designed to meet our
future needs.
It will allow us to ask for a topic we select, and
will pull up a list of titles where we can find information on
that topic.
2. Problem:
Computers are stupid machines, which can only count
up to one, and are totally unable to do anything without exact
instructions.
That means that if we want to be able to find
references on some certain topic,
we have to tell it ahead of
time to keep track of that topic.
3.
Solution:
We have to decide right now what topics we want to
keep track of.
The index shown below is proposed, and is in need
of finalization.
Please provide your input to additions/
changes/ etc. ,
to this index.

3.
Solution:
We have to decide right now what topics we want to
keep track of.
I have compiled a list of topics below which is
far from complete.
I need you to come up with other topics of
interest.
If we do not program them in, they will not be there.
Therefore, I need you to tell me right now what areas of interest
you have, you can think of, etc.
4.
Note that I have broken this up into two categories; the
general areas of interest (i.e. hypnosis) , and the specific areas
which apply to every general area (police cases involving
hypnosis) .
