New CTAN package: librarian

quoth the daemon on thursday (and i forgot it and deleted the mail, and have only just been reminded and restored the mail from archive): > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: librarian > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Location on CTAN: macros/generic/librarian > Summary description: Tools to create bibliographies in TeX. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The librarian package extracts information in bib files, makes it > available in the current document, and sorts lists of entries > according to that information and the user's specifications. Citation > and bibliography styles can then be written directly in TeX, without > any use of BibTeX. Creating references thus depends entirely on the > user's skill in TeX. > > The package works with all formats using plain TeX's basic syntactic > sugar; the distribution includes a third-party file for ConTeXt and a > style file for LaTeX. > > As an example of use, an Author (Year) style is given in a separate > file and explained in the documentation. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i installed the package (on thursday) and created the catalogue entry then too. thanks to Paul for the upload. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/librarian.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/generic/librarian/ and of course, given the delay, the catalogue entry is now stable.
