SPIRES.HTML page
Tim Berners-Lee, who invented
the World-Wide Web, has called the SLAC web interface to SPIRES-HEP the "killer
app" that showed the world what the web could do.
In December 1991, SPIRES-HEP was already a very popular database among high
energy physicists. They were thrilled with the improved and instantaneous access
to SPIRES-HEP provided by SLAC's new web interface. Clicking "Search"
on this page linked a user to SPIRES.INDEX, and clicking "Help" took
them to a page named SPIHELP.INDEX.
