Bibmaster - a database application for nomenclature, literature and specimen management

* Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid, CSIC,  Plaza de Murillo 2, Madrid, Spain

[Computer demonstration]

Bibmaster is a tool designed to aid the botanist in the task of preparing an account for a flora or a monograph. It serves to enter, store and handle information about taxon names, literature, authors and specimens in a user-friendly way and with a maximum of consistency. It is designed to be used in a range of circumstances, from a specialist working alone to an institution where mayor editing and co-ordination tasks are carried out. 
Artificial database keys are generally avoided so that data can be exchange and merged easily. 
Data can be accessed and queried in a variety of ways but Bibmaster is not an on-line Flora program. It does not handle descriptive information and identification keys, as DELTA and similar programs do. Characteristics of Bibmaster include:
