Citation information follows in BiBTeX format:

@book(IEEEScheme91,
	title = "IEEE Standard for the Scheme Programming Language",
	author = "{IEEE Std 1178-1990}",
	publisher = "Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc.",
	address = "New York, NY",
	year = 1991)

(The standard was approved by the IEEE Standards Board in December 1990,
and published in May 1991.)


The IEEE Working Group on Scheme has dissolved.  It should be reconstituted
within five years (less if the Scheme community perceives the need) to
reaffirm or revise the standard.
