Synopsis

Classification and Cataloguing are always thought to be intellectual processes and as the computers are not intelligent, it is presumed that these tasks are human prerogative, if not a curse. The present work could lead to successfully building an automatic bibliographic data entry system, it will be of immense aid in the library automation activity in India and elsewhere, as building bibliographic databases is a very tedious job. A heuristic based Expert System is developed to identify bibliographic data elements from both the title and back of the title pages of books. Firstly the system scan title page, back of the title page and the content of the document.
