- Welcome to the IAMSLIC/CYAMUS Union List of Serials
-
- This is a test file of serials holdings from several institutions, some
- of whose records were downloaded from the Melvyl Library System without
- explicit permission for their inclusion, so please treat this only as a
- sample, not as an authoritative listing.
-
- As of June 1, 1992, the test database contains about 15,700 records from
- the following institutions:
-
- Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California
- California Academy of Sciences (CAS)
- California State University campuses (CSU)
- DSIR Marine and Freshwater, New Zealand
- Guin Library, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University
- Stanford University -- Falconer Biology and Hopkins Marine Lab
- University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)
- University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC)
- University of Hawaii
- University of Oregon, Ocean and Coastal Law Center Library
- University of Southern California (USC)
- University of Washington, Fisheries/Oceanography Library (UW)
- University of Washington, Friday Harbor Library
-
- The search interface runs on a software package called PixTex and is
- very uneven in its ease of use. Before you can search a file, you first
- must select an "index" that includes the union list database. The
- default search protocols use fuzzy matching rather than normal indexing
- to retrieve records, which means that many of your usual boolean search
- habits may not apply.
-
- Please send comments and feedback regarding this test version to either:
- watkins@ucsce.ucsc.edu (Steve Watkins, UC Santa Cruz) or
- wible@krypton.stanford.edu (Joe Wible, Stanford University)
-
- We are particularly interested in hearing from you whether this format
- and interface are acceptable as a means of distributing access to
- unedited holdings information from a variety of libraries.
