- While I was dialed into the local library's database I happened to
- take a look at the other libraries in the system and see if MELVYL
- was in the network. Sure enough there it was! Now I won't have to
- ask Tom Lincoln for his help in looking up reference materials in
- MELVYL (thanks Tom).
-
- The main reason for this posting is to alert other rooters to the
- fact that their local library may have full access to the network
- of libraries around the country. I didn't know how extensive it
- was until I looked.
-
- Another question, how extensive is the library network? I've only
- looked around a little bit but is seems like it's rather large.
-
- What follows is the menu from my local library.
-
- Have Fun!
