Dr. St. George says this document, "began as an effort to provide additional service to the network community locally. However, it became apparent that the library resources were of broader appeal than that." It contains a listing of over 100 online library catalogs and databases available within the United States and beyond. It contains listings of U.S. and international library catalogs and databases, dial- up libraries, Campus-Wide Online Information Systems, and bulletin board systems. Each listing gives a brief description of the resource and instructions on how to access it, as well as places to contact for more information. Listings include such material as Columbia University's online library catalog (CLIO), Pennsylvania's State University online card catalog system (PENpages), and the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL) and its 25 individual resource listings of libraries and information databases, such as the Metro Denver Facts database. This catalog is an ongoing project. If you have any suggestions, comments, or additions, please send them to Dr. Art St. George by electronic mail to stgeorge@unmb.bitnet or stgeorge@bootes.unm.edu.

The monograph database, which includes records for books and nonbook materials such as maps, films, musical scores, and sound recordings, contains over 5.5 million unique titles representing nearly 11 million holdings at UC, the California State Library, and the Center for Research Libraries. Collection strengths include agriculture, dry lands, oceanography, entomology, performing arts (especially film and television), photography, Californiana, materials on Mexico and Central America, 17th and 18th century British literature, health sciences, and science fiction. The periodicals file, which includes newspapers, journals, proceedings, etc., contains over 640,000 unique titles representing over 1.2 million holdings from UC, Stanford University, the University of Southern California, the 19-campus California State University system, and selected other libraries. The MELVYL catalog also provides access to two databases of article citations: MEDLINE and Current Contents. The MELVYL MEDLINE database contains the current five-year file of the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database, which includes article citations and abstracts, indexed from over 4,000 health sciences journals. The Current Contents file, from the Institute for Scientific Information, contains one year of citations to articles in over 6,500 journals in seven broad subject disciplines. Use of these files, unlike the books and periodicals files, is restricted to the UC community. The "DLA Bulletin" and the "Mynd of the MELVYL Catalog," two publications describing the online catalog and its development and use, are also available online. The MELVYL catalog also provides access via TELNET to other remote library systems on the Internet. Network Access The system is on the Internet and can be accessed using the host name melvyl.ucop.edu or any of four Internet addresses (31.1.0.1, 31.0.0.11, 31.0.0.13, 31.1.0.11).

PURDUE UNIVERSITY TRAVELING THOR — THE ONLINE RESOURCE LIB.CC.PURDUE.EDU Your Connection to the Purdue Libraries Dial-up Using a Microcomputer and Modem This feature may be employed by anyone using a microcomputer, modem, and communications software, whether from their home, office, dorm room, or from a library. To properly set the communications software to access the library computer and THOR, set your terminal (computer), modem and communications software for: Communication even parity Settings 7 data bits 1 stop bit XON/XOFF enabled Telephone computer (317) 494-9400 Number(s) help (317) 494-2857 Hours: Monday - Saturday 8:00 a.m. - Midnight Sunday 11:00 a.m.- Midnight You can dial-up to THOR with a variety of microcomputers and software. For whatever hardware and software combination you use, you must learn how to type the IBM <enter> and <clear> functions. This information can be obtained from the Library Systems Department ((317) 494-2857). The most common combination is an IBM PC compatible computer with VT100 terminal emulation. For this combination these key combinations work: <enter> <ctrl> and <return> simultaneously <clear> esc O [capital O] p After connecting to the computer, press <return> several times until the system responds with the "DIAL:" prompt. Access from the Internet Users of any computer connected to the Internet (which includes most multi-user computers on campus) can connect directly to THOR without using a telephone line. Different combinations of computer hardware will connect in different ways, but some common types are discussed below. If none of these combinations seem to describe your situation, or neither method works, call the Library Systems Department ((317)-494-2857) for assistance. You might also get help from your local computer system administrator. From terminals connected to a UNIX computer: - log on to your UNIX account as usual - make sure the TERM environment variable is set correctly - type, "tn3270 lib.cc.purdue.edu" and press RETURN From terminals connected to the VM (IBM) computer: - log on to your VM account as usual - type, "telnet lib.cc.purdue.edu" and press ENTER From many off-campus computers on the Internet: - follow the appropriate set of instructions above - if "lib.cc.purdue.edu" does not work, use "128.210.9.8" instead. The system should display the THOR database selection menu. If anything else happens, or if the system prints numerous extraneous characters with the menu, disconnect and seek help. Once properly connected to THOR, you must know how to type the IBM <enter> and <clear> functions. Users already connected to an IBM system can use the same keys that they use for their own account. For UNIX users, these keys are set by their System Administrator for each terminal type. Frequently, <ctrl> and <j> will work for <enter>, and <ctrl> and <z> will perform a <clear>, but check with your System Administrator for the correct combinations.

PONI (Public ONline Information) is the name for our NOTIS library public catalog system. The PONI catalog contains over one million bibliographic entries including over 185,000 U.S. government documents. SMU has completely converted the shelflist records for all campus libraries: Central Libraries, Underwood Law Library, Bridwell [Theology] Library, and the Business Information Center. Central libraries include Media Services, Special Collections in the Degolyer Library, ISEM Reading Room [Institute for the Study of Earth and Man], undergraduate/graduate collections in Fondren Library, Science Information Center and Hamon Arts Library. Accessing PONI: PONI's Internet address is vm.cis.smu.edu. You must use TN3270 to access PONI. Instructions for using PONI are clearly described in the introductory and help screens. PONI is available Monday - Saturday from 7:30 am to 2 am and from Noon Sunday to 2 am Monday, Central Time. Once you get access to our distinctive sign-on screen, enter PONI. Then clear the CICS "good morning" message and enter LUSM. To exit from PONI press clear twice and enter CSSF LOGOFF. This should disconnect your session. If you have problems making connections call for computer center help at (214) 692- 4357 or send an InterNet e-mail message to HELP@VM.CIS.SMU.EDU. If you have questions concerning the content of PONI contact Carolyn Kacena at (214) 692-3229 or e-mail at VB7R1001@VM.CIS.SMU.EDU. The two clear keystrokes used when exiting PONI are to ensure that the user is completely out of the PONI application. A single clear from the introductory screen is also sufficient. The CSSF LOGOFF will exit CICS and return the user to the SMU VTAM screen or its help menu, but will not terminate the Telenet session from your site to SMU. The termination is done at your local site and depends on your local conventions. You should contact your system administrator for instructions. SMU allows view only access to the technical services side of the NOTIS system, for those who may utilize bibliography software requiring the MARC formatted record. You should see but be unable to edit or change the Bibliographic File, Authority File, and Copy Holdings Record. This may only be of interest to other NOTIS sites, but might be a useful adjunct to the opac portion. HOWEVER, if you find that our security has glitched and you see highlighted elements which you can (or think you can) edit, please advise Carolyn Kacena as soon as possible!

Access is restricted to three simultaneous users from the Internet. You will be logged out automatically after five minutes of inactivity or if your session exceeds thirty minutes. PHOENIX was a joint project by the library and UNB's Computing Services Department. It was developed in the period 1979-1980. PHOENIX searches can be done using either the Menu or Command modes. Initially, the user is placed in the Command Mode but can switch to Menu by typing Menu<cr>. Returning to Command Mode is accomplished by pressing the Pf3 key. Searching in Command is accomplished with the "s" command. Set results are shown through the use of the display command. The format is d set# format range. Typing d5l 1-5 would display records 1-5 of set number 5 in the long format. Formats available are (s)hort, (m)edium, (l)ong, (t)itle and x for MARC. Browsing of indexes is also possible in Command mode. PHOENIX consists of a number of databases. Most are full MARC format. The major exception to this is ENLIST. This database is maintained by the Engineering Library. Brief records are provided for all Engineering Library books, theses, pamphlets, microforms and some journal articles. In addition, some faculty members and special libraries within Fredericton maintain their collections using ENLIST. Browsing is not supported in ENLIST.

Konstanz' library, running KOALA, a proprietary online cataloging/database software. KOALA may be used to scan the library's inventory of about 1.4 million volumes (no journals yet) for a given volume, using (combinations of) about a dozen different search criteria, such as ISBN, ISSN, authors' names, title etc. The user interface is TTY-like and KEPT ENTIRELY IN GERMAN. It features an online help system, and a rudimentary message handling facility to contact the database managers. KOALA can be reached via telnet to polydos.uni-konstanz.de (134.34.3.5), on ***PORT 775***, during library opening hours (8:00 to 21:30 local time on Mon to Fri, 9:00 to 19:00 local time on Sat.). There are a few technical limitations to using KOALA: - the machine is quite slow (and suffers from overload) - the number of KOALA sessions running in parallel is limited (currently to 9) Contact: Guenther Rau Bibliothek der Univ.

It is installed in all seven institutions of higher learning in Israel, where each has one or more independent OPACS, and all are connected in a library network also called ALEPH. Users can switch from one OPAC to another once they are in the ALEPH network; the switch is handled transparently. The ALEPH network also supports a central computer which contains the Union List of Serials in Israel Libraries (ULS), the Union List of Monographs in ALEPH (ULM), and the Index to Hebrew Periodicals (IHP). Cataloging records of the contributing libraries are sent to the central computer where the union lists are compiled. ULM, ULS, and IHP are all accessible via Internet, as well as from any other OPAC within the network. *************** ACCESSING ALEPH *************** You can access ALEPH via TELNET. To gain access to any of the network OPACS, telnet to any one of the following university library computers: Central ALEPH Computer RAM2.HUJI.AC.IL 128.139.4.207 Bar-Ilan University ALEPH.BIU.AC.IL 132.70.9.36 Ben-Gurion University BGULIB.BGU.AC.IL Haifa University LIB.HAIFA.AC.IL 132.74.1.100 Hebrew University ALEPH.HUJI.AC.IL 128.139.4.207 Technion LIB.TECHNION.AC.IL 132.68.1.20 Tel Aviv University TAUVAX.TAU.AC.IL 132.66.32.6 Weizmann Institute of Science WISLIB.WEIZMANN.AC.IL 132.76.64.14 The username to use is ALEPH. No password is required. You will be greeted with a Terminal Selection menu which is rather complicated. Below is a sample menu, followed by some pointers and suggestions. ****************** TERMINAL SELECTION ****************** Sample Menu: 1. Visual 55/65 2. VT100 3. VT102 4. Visual 220 5. TTY 9. PC 10. Elbit DS2000 11. VT220 protocol (VT220,VT320,VT340,VT420,Visual603, etc.) Terminal types for soft fonts: Users from Abroad 17. VT320 18. VT420 19. Visual 603 Terminal types for soft fonts: Israeli Users 27. VT320 28. VT420 29. Visual 603 Pointers and Suggestions: 1. Generally speaking, try terminal types 2, 5, or 11. They will enable you to search in English and other Latin alphabets (French, Spanish, transliterated Cyrillic, etc.). If you are accessing the system via TN3270 choose terminal type 5. 2. Hebrew and other soft fonts: ALEPH supports soft font alphabets (Hebrew, Cyrillic, Arabic, Greek, etc.). For users from abroad the soft font terminal types are 17, 18, or 19. You must have a VT320 or VT420 or Visual 603 terminal/emulation to display these fonts. A great deal of material has ben cataloged in Hebrew, and a lesser amount in Arabic. Cyrillic cataloging has only just begun. Some Arabic records have been cataloged in transliterated Hebrew, and some Cyrillic records have been cataloged in transliterated English. Consult each OPAC for specific details. Suggestions for Israeli Internet Users: 1. If you are interested in Hebrew, and own a pc bought in Israel, use the Hebrew Kermit program (HKermit), written at Hebrew University, to connect to ALEPH. You should be using a vt100 emulation, and your pc must have an EGA card. To obtain HKermit **************************** ftp noa.huji.ac.il login: anonymous password: your_full_name cd pub set file type binary get mskermit.ini *************************** Please note that the file is an initialization file. It is recommended that you create a separate directory in which you keep a copy of your mskermit.exe and the special mskermit.ini. Use this directory for accessing ALEPH. Choose terminal type 3 when you use Hebrew Kermit. 2. If you have a VT220 protocol terminal with a standard Hebrew chip using standard Hebrew ASCII mapping you can display Hebrew. The Hebrew used is DEC 8-bit ASCII. Choose terminal type 11. 3. Terminal types 1 and 4 have a Hebrew chip specially adapted and only available in Israel. 4. Hebrew and Other Soft Fonts: If you have a VT320 or VT420 or Visual 603 with a Hebrew chip, use terminal types 27, 28, and 29 to display Hebrew and other soft font alphabets. *************** ONLINE ALEPH *************** Once inside ALEPH, you will generally see a Main Menu Screen from which you can begin to search the online catalog. Instructions are available in Hebrew and English. To change from one language to another type a question mark "?". Use the LB command to switch from one library OPAC to another, all the while maintaining your ALEPH session. The switch will be transparent to you. At times a library might be inaccessible. This is generally at night, when maintenance jobs are running that lock certain files. If this happens switch to another library in the network. To exit Aleph type STOP. ************************************************************************ FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Aleph Yissum (Program Development): Judy Levi, MASTER%RAM8.DECNET@VMS.HUJI.AC.IL Phone: 972-2-584020 Fax: 972-2-617721 Bar-Ilan University: Eliza Bar Magen, S05505@VM.BIU.AC.IL, Phone: 972-3-5318493 Fax: 972-3-349233 Ben-Gurion University: Dalia Censor, DALIA@BGULIB.BGU.AC.IL Phone: 972-57-461410 FAX: Haifa University: Elhanan Adler, ELHANAN@LIB.HAIFA.AC.IL Phone: 972-4-240288 Fax: 972-4-257753 Hebrew University: Janet Lefkovitz, JANET@VMS.HUJI.AC.IL Phone: 972-2-882134 Fax: 972-2-322435 Technion: Judy Koren, LBJUDY@VMSA.TECHNION.AC.IL Phone: 972-4-292501 Fax: 972-4-233501 Tel Aviv University: Passana Aleksandrowicz, MASTERH@TAUVAX.TAU.AC.IL Phone: 972-3-6428272 Fax: 972-3-6410296 Weizmann Institute: Hedva Milo, RAMILO@WEIZMANN.WEIZMANN.AC.IL Phone: 972-8-343295 Fax: 08-466966 MEXICO INSTITUTO TECNOLOGICO Y ESTUDIOS SUPERIORES DE MONTERREY MTECV2.MTY.ITESM.MX The ITESM System is formed by 26 campuses in 22 different cities all over Mexico.

SWITZERLAND EIDGENOESSISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE LIBRARY (ETH: Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule, i.e. Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) ETHICS.ETHZ.CH The Online system of the ETH Library is called ETHICS (ETH Library Information Control System). It contains the holdings of the ETH Library from 1976 on (about 700'000 catalog entries) and those of some smaller libraries from 1988 on. ETHICS is an integrated library system with the following functions: - OPAC - circulation control - serials control (planned) ETHICS provides: - a retrieval by title words which allows searching by authors' names or elements of titles and is especially recommended when single words of the title or the authors' names are known - a subject retrieval which allows searching for literature on a specific topic - an alphabetic retrieval which allows searching by authors' names and beginnings of titles, the exact form of which must be known. Searching for corporate bodies, places and years of conferences is also possible. - an interactive communication in German and French (English planned) - a subject register in English, German and French - an alphabetic and a systematic subject search Once the serials control will have been realized (1992), the OPAC will not only show catalog entries, but also the single issues of journals. Displayed catalog entries (and later on also issues) can be ordered directly online. The system checks the reader's authorization for borrowing books and the circulation status of the item. ETHICS is available from 04.00 am to 8.00 am (local time) and can be accessed from telnet with ethics.ethz.ch. - Press the RETURN key and wait for the message: ENTER TERMINAL TYPE: Enter the terminal type. If you just press the RETURN key, a list of permittable terminal types will appear. After selecting an appropriate terminal type, the ETHICS dialog starts. - When the connection to the library computer has been established, the following message will be displayed: FUER DEN EINSTIEG INS ETHICS RETURN-TASTE DRUECKEN PRESSEZ LA TOUCHE RETURN POUR ACCEDER A ETHICS If you do not receive an answer, you can assume the system is not operating. If the system does not react to the RETURN key, try the SEND or ENTER key. Quitting ETHICS: - In order to return to the screen entitled "Auswahl der Funktion", use the PA2 function key (to simulate the PA2 function key, use the TABULATOR key to position the cursor after the text "PF:" at the bottom left corner of the screen, then type "A2"). - Use the PA2 function key once more, to return to the opening screen (displaying the dialog language selection). - A second entry of PA2 causes disconnection from ETHICS.
