Be All records entered into the database at the time of tie- in must be changed and updated according to the subject matter covered by each bibliographic entry. b. Third ard final stage programming: Programming will eventually provide alternate methodologies for data retrieval. i. The present method af data retrieval allows a user ta enter known information into a blank (for example “Rhine" into the author field and “Psy” inte the title field). . The program will retrieve, in this case, all bibliographic references which have J.B. Rhine as an author or co-author, and the letters “Psy..." in the title. Ze In the final stage of programming, a “retrieval by index" capability will be provided, where the user can cursor down through an index of subject topics. When the cursor is on the desired line af the index, a button can be pressed, and the programming will retrieve all references dealing with that subject matter. % This is an entirely new concept in database retrieval and no known programming presently exists to allow for this capability. Therefore, all programming in this area must be original, and must be thoroughly tested before implementation on a back-up database for initial user-testing. Gnce completed, it should provide the user with a method of database retrieval which is far advanced over present methods. 4.
