New CTAN package: librarian

[CTAN Announcements]

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.
