          I am a graduate student in Computer Science, and I am planning
     to do an independent study project next semester in Expert Systems.
     My project, as it stands now, will be to build a simple expert system
     for use in a microbiology lab.  I plan to write the system twice,
     once in LISP, and once in PROLOG, and then compare the relative
     merits of each language for expert systems.
          Can anyone suggest some references to get me started?  This
     will be my first expert system, and I am interested in literature
     on how to go about building one.  I would like to see information
     on designing expert systems in general, how to go about getting
     the information from the domain expert, and any information on
     building expert systems in LISP and PROLOG in particular.  Any
     help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
