[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:
Management
