ital-2937	Weil, Cherie B.	Automatic Retrieval of Biographical Reference Books	1968-12-01	11	.pdf	application/pdf	4814	244	61	BASIC ASSUMPTIONS The categorizing system was based on two nearly universal generaliza- ti.ons about biographical reference books: 1) They are consistently con- fined to biographies of persons who have something in common: for ex- ample, being alive or dead; or having the same nationality, sex, occupa- tion, religion, race, memberships; or possessing some combination of those attributes. RESULTS To obtain some measure of the program's accuracy, fourteen textbook questions, probably more challenging than the average patron would ask, were submitted to the computer and to a professional librarian who was especially familiar with biographical reference books.	cache/ital-2937.pdf	txt/ital-2937.txt
