5. INSPIRES History
1963: HEPindex by DESY (book of publication references)
1974: SPIRES-HEP SLAC in collaboration with DESY
Mid 80’s: remote access of SPIRES via
more databases: CONF, EXP, INST, HEPnames, JOBS
Fermilab joined
Mar. 89: Information Management: a proposal -> WorldWideWeb
Dec. 91: first web-server outside of Europe
close collaboration with arXiv
Nov. 2011: INSPIRE replaced SPIRES collaboration of CERN, DESY, Fermilab, SLAC
Apr. 2012: SPIRES front-end shut-off

Powerfull search syntax or google-style

7. 4* Search Syntax INSPIRE
Google: Aad Higgs photon searches everywhere in metadata
SPIRES: fin a aad, g and t higgs and k photon use stop-words to structure search
INSPIRE: author:”aad, g*” title:higgs keyword:photon use blank to separate search terms, needs quotes MARC: 100__a:”aad, g*” 245__a:’higgs’ 6531_a:/photon/
/search text/: substring, regular expressions possible ‘search string’: substring – may take very long
“search sting”: full string Don’t mix SPIRES with other syntax

8. Author profile
Ongoing: cleanup of profiles
