Automatic indexing has always been a controversial field of research and practical application <br />
in the area of (online or stand-alone) information systems. For mainframe computers, there are some research systems and <br />
a few systems that are used in practice such as PASSAT by Siemens and AIR/PHYS developed by the <br />
University of Darmstadt and used by Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe. The CTX system is a <br />
research system developed at the Universität des Saarlandes on the basis of the SUSY machine <br />
translation system. It uses the large German SADAW dictionary (142,000 entries) and produces <br />
single-word descriptors and noun phrases. Like SUSY it is available on the UNIX platform. <br />
Unlike SUSY, however, it is not available for the public at the moment, but may become so in the <br />near future. Among the
automatic indexing systems developed for PCs the PRIMUS/IDX software<br /><a href="http://www.softex.de/produkt1.htm">by SOFTEX</a> seems worth mentioning. </p><p /><hr /><p>

An electronic studies' guide for information science at the Universität des Saarlandes <br>
has been implemented on the basis of the TOOLBOOK hypertext authoring system (version 1.53). <br>
All necessary files including the freely distributable TOOLBOOK runtime modules are contained in a <br>
zip-file that is downloaded to your computer, if you set the ‚load to disk‘ option and then click here: <br>

The LIFT system (Lern- und Informationssystem zur Förderung des Textverstehens) has been developed
at the Institute for Romance Philologies and the Institute for Information Science. Advanced
learners of French can download exercises that are supposed to help them read and understand
French texts. There are exercises on how to:
- understand the gist of a text
- answer questions concerning a text
- extract the important key words
- make conclusions after reading a text
- etc.
