== SPIRES High Energy Physics database (SPIRES-HEP) ==

The SPIRES High Energy Physics database (SPIRES-HEP),<ref>[http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires SPIRES High Energy Physics database]</ref> installed at [[Stanford Linear Accelerator Center]] (SLAC) in the 1970s,<ref>[http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?r=SLAC-PUB-7110 The Virtual library in action: Collaborative international control of high-energy physics preprints Kreitz, P.A. et al.]</ref> became the first website in North America<ref>[http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/cms/?pid=1000922 Happy Webiversary Rezendes Khirallah, D.]</ref><ref>[http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/earlyweb/history.shtml The Early World Wide Web at SLAC: Documentation of the Early Web at SLAC (1991-1994)]</ref> and the first database accessible through the [[World Wide Web]] in 1991.<ref>[http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/earlyweb/history.shtml The Early World Wide Web at SLAC: Early Chronology and Documents<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It has since expanded into a joint project of SLAC, [[Fermilab]], and [[DESY]], with mirrors hosted at those institutions as well as at the [[Institute for High Energy Physics]] (Russia), the [[University of Durham]] (UK), the [[Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics]] at [[Kyoto University]] (Japan), and

the [[Indonesian Institute of Sciences]] LIPI (Indonesia). This project stores bibliographic information about the literature of the field of [[High Energy Physics]] and is an example of [[academic databases and search engines]].

SPIRES is, as of 20112012, being replaced by INSPIRE, a modern system based on [[Invenio]] software. INSPIRE is run by a collaboration of the physics labs at [[CERN]], [[DESY]], [[Fermilab]] and [[SLAC]], and interacts closely with HEP publishers, [[arXiv.org]], [[NASA]]'s [[Astrophysics Data System]], [[Particle Data Group]], and other information resources.<ref>[http://projecthepinspire.net INSPIRE Project Information]</ref>
