- LIBRARY CATALOGS
-
- I would be remiss if I did not mention that through the Internet you have
- access to hundreds of library catalogs. Library catalogs can be accessed
- individually; however, it is now common for you to gain access to an
- individual library catalog through a gateway or menu system.
-
- The following example gets you to the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon
- University, and Carnegie Public Library of Pittsburgh catalogs.

- --------------------
- The fact that you can access a library catalog from home or office
- is, to me, amazing. I've had students in library school that never
- used a card catalog. In many cases you are able not only to locate
- material, but also find out if the material is available for loan
- or if someone else is using it. Of course it is all relevant. A
- few years back, when I first found out about these resources, my
- wife asked me to checked the library for a certain author. I was
- in my electronic networking glory when I walked her to the kitchen
- and within a minute had the full bibliographic information on the
- screen; she was not impressed--her next question was "what button
- do you press to get an annotation of the book."
