Abstract
The Web is an invaluable resource for finding citations and publications. This paper describes CiFi, a rule-based agent which autonomously finds citations on the Web, using multiple search strategies, and multiple Web-based information sources. CiFi performs heuristicguided automated browsing, utilising the Lycos search engine to find starting points for browsing.
