There appears to be no large technical database which includes all the
journals and publications appropriate to heavy ion fusion (HIF). We h
ave started compiling an HIF bibliography database as an ongoing, part
-time activity. The database currently has 630 references, mostly from
HIF symposia and accelerator conferences. Each reference is given a p
rimary keyword from a list of eigth topics and a secondary keyword fro
m a list of 16. Conventional desktop software allows sorting, searchin
g and extracting. The software, methods, keywords and current category
totals are described.
