You can even use it through Ubiquity. It's at http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/ This will convert to DOI. Armed with the DOI, you can then lookup Pubmed, CrossRef (through an API),or some comp sci database. CrossRef provide a web service for just this purpose. You can even use it through Ubiquity.

If they were biomedical papers, most languages have modules to search and retrieve from PubMed: e.g. <a href="http://www.bioruby.org/rdoc/" rel="nofollow">BioRuby's</a> Bio::Pubmed. I'm guessing they are not, in which case <a href="http://jabref.sourceforge.net/help/CommandLine.php" rel="nofollow">JabRef</a> has command-line options to search various databases using keywords - see the --fetch option.

Sadly DBLP does not have a useful API last time I looked, nor does Google Scholar. Sounds like a good 207 assignment. Bibsonomy has a fairly good API, probably a good chunk are there?
