Abstract: A server computer for a data communication system and adapted to transmit a document via a network, such as the Internet or an intranet, to a client computer in response to a request therefrom. The server includes an article memory for storing a plurality of article documents and respective bibliographic data; processing circuitry for receiving from a system administrator and storing an article document selection rule, and for retrieving from the article memory a subset of the plurality of article documents and assembling a table of contents-type document from at least part of each of the subset of article documents. The subset of article documents is selected according to the respective bibliographic data using the article document selection rule. Transmission circuitry is responsive to the request for transmitting the assembled document onto the network for delivery to the client computer.
