findbib – Find bibliographic details from SPIRES

Findbib is a shell script that enables the user to avoid writing database entries for papers that appear on SPIRES: if the citation key is in SPIRES standard form, or is an arXiv preprint number, the bibliographic details are retrieved on-line.

A companion script, addbib, adds the information to an existing database.
