     INTRODUCTION

Internet-Accessible Library Catalogs and Databases is coauthored by Dr.
Art St. George of the University of New Mexico and Dr. Ron Larsen of the
University of Maryland. 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 [e-mail] or [e-mail].
    This document is formatted and edited by Carlos Robles of the
California Education and Research Federation Network (CERFnet)

Description
    The MELVYL catalog is the online union catalog of monographs and
serials (periodicals) held by the nine University of California campuses
and affiliated libraries. 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).

Who Can Use the Catalog
    The MELVYL online catalog and periodicals file are universally
available. Access to MEDLINE and Current Contents files are restricted
under a license agreement to the University of California faculty,
staff, and students.

THE UC BERKELEY ONLINE CATALOG
GopAC.BERKELEY.EDU

Instructions:
1. telnet GopAC.BERKELEY.EDU

    VT100 emulation is possible but not explicitly present. Logoff
instructions are provided. GLADIS is public access and it does not
require a password for access. The catalog covers the holdings of most
UCB libraries, including the main library, the Moffitt Undergraduate
Library, the Bancroft Library and some 23 branch libraries. The catalog
is complete for monographic holdings from 1977 to the present and
incomplete for monographic holdings prior to that date. We are in the
process of converting older monographic records, so more of these
records appear in the catalog daily. All of the serial titles, both past
and present, are reflected in GLADIS. GLADIS also contains records for
maps, manuscripts, audiovisual materials and computer software.
Circulation information (whether an item is checked out or not) is
available for some library locations (six libraries as of September,
1989).

     ILLINOIS

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY "LUIS"
PACX.ACNS.NWU.EDU

Connecting:
    VT100 emulation is supported and logoff instructions are
provided. Northwestern University's "LUIS" online catalog may be
accessed from other academic institutions via the Internet, using
telnet. The library catalog's telnet address is PACX.ACNS.NWU.EDU. Once
connected, press <ENTER> or <RETURN>; you will receive the prompt "enter
class". Type 60, then press <ENTER> or <RETURN> twice. At this point you
will be prompted for a terminal type; VT100 is to be preferred, assuming
your local communications software will provide VT100 emulation.
Pressing <ENTER> or <RETURN> again will provide you the online catalog's
introductory screen.
    To sign off, please enter a percent sign (%) at any prompt. You
can then disconnect your telnet session. PLEASE NOTE that the online
catalog AUTOMATICALLY disconnects if there is no keyboard activity
within a two-minute period.
    Remote users of Northwestern's LUIS catalog who may be familiar
with other NOTIS-based online catalogs will note some differences in our
implementation. Of particular interest may be NU's provision of
cross-references in the online catalog, a feature that is to appear in
the commercial release scheduled for the end of 1990. This LUIS version
does not provide keyword/Boolean searching, but does offer what we call
"search qualification," the ability of a user to limit an author, title,
or subject search result by any of several elements present in the
coordinated indexes: date, format (e.g., serial, video), other word, or
holding library. Use of this feature is explained in a help screen which
may be accessed by typing an ampersand (&).

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 [phone]
    Number(s)     help [phone]

    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.

     TEXAS

SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY
VM.CIS.SMU.EDU

Introduction:
      SMU is announcing the availability of PONI via the Internet.
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 [phone] or send an InterNet e-mail
message to [e-mail]. If you have questions concerning the
content of PONI contact Carolyn Kacena at [phone] or e-mail at
[e-mail].

    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.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN LIBRARY CATALOGS
MADISON AND MILWAUKEE CAMPUSES NETWORK LIBRARY SYSTEM (NLS)
NLS.ADP.WISC.EDU

    The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public catalog of
the libraries at the University of Wisconsin- Madison and the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports separate online catalogs for each
campus.
    The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million
titles cataloged since 1976, located in 25 libraries on the campus and
at the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago. This represents roughly
50% of the collections. The UW- Milwaukee catalog contains approximately
900,000 titles and represents 85% of the general collection.

Network Access:
    If available on your system, please use tn3270 (telnet
supporting 3270 emulation) to access blue.adp.wisc.edu When connected
you are presented a menu from which you select NLS, the library catalog.
(If you don't know how your function keys are mapped, TAB to the option
you want and press ENTER.)
    Telnet access is also available via a gateway machine providing
the necessary 3270 emulation. From your local host use telnet to access
nls.adp.wisc.edu . You will be prompted to enter a terminal type. VT100
is the default, or you can enter the command list to display a list of
supported terminal types. Upon entering a valid terminal type, select
NLS from the menu displayed to connect to the library catalog.
    Upon entering NLS, a screen is displayed at which you either
press ENTER to search the Madison catalog or type Mil and press ENTER to
search the Milwaukee catalog.
    To exit, enter the command exit on any screen to return to the
Main Menu. Here you select the option to quit. This returns control to
your local host.

Who Can Use The Catalog:
    The University of Wisconsin library catalogs for the Madison and
Milwaukee campuses are currently available to all interested parties.

Miscellaneous Information:
    Xterm users or other windowing software users must set their
window size to 80 characters x 25 lines.
    For help using NLS or to obtain a free NLS Computer Catalog
User's Guide, contact the Memorial Library Information Desk at (608)

Note on keyboard mappings:
    Because keyboard mappings are defined by the tn3270 software on
the client's host computer, we are not able to tell you definitively how
your keyboard will be mapped. The following chart shows a selection of
the tn3270 keyboard mapping used on many UW Madison VAX computers. These
definitions are also used when accessing NLS via telnet as they are
provided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.

DEAKIN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
LIBRARY.DEAKIN.OZ.AU
(128.184.1.1)

Details follow for Deakin University Library, Victoria, Australia
Region: VICTORIA (AUSTRALIA)

Chief Librarian: Margaret Cameron ([e-mail]) Systems Librarian:
Tony Mays ([e-mail])

Library System: ALICE

ALICE - the Deakin University Library OPAC

Internet access to Deakin University Library (ALICE)
    Access to the Deakin University Library's online library system
can be gained from any terminal which is connected to the INTERNET
network.
    The Library's online system contains records for all items held
in the Library, as well as items which are on-order. In addition, the
on-line system also contains similar information on the holdings at the
Gordon Technical College (GTC) Library.
    Instructions on the use of ALICE is given in the booklet "Guide
to the Public Inquiry Terminals" available from the Library's
Information Desk. Ph: [phone].
    NB Access can also be obtained by direct dial-in or by using
X.25, details of which are available separately.

To gain access:
0. Terminal setup: no specific terminal settings
   required. Terminals already connected to AARNet should not be altered.
1. telnet library.deakin.oz.au

    You may need to have already established a session on a computer
at your institution, which is connected to AARNet. Alternatively, you
may be able to establish a connection directly from your terminal
server. Consult your local Computing Centre for further advice.

2. If the connection is successful, you will receive something similar
   to:-

        SunOS UNIX (sol.deakin.OZ.AU.)

        login:

3. Type: alice Press: <RETURN>

4. The system will then indicate when ALICE was last used, display any
   "messages of the day", and then try to determine the type of terminal
   being used. If it cannot be determined automatically, the system will
   prompt you for the device type.

        TERM = (unknown)

Type: <the code corresponding to your terminal type>. Some terminal
types are:- tatung Tatung VT-4100 vt100 DEC VT- 100 vt52 VT-52 v3
TV1-910,920 6310 hazeltine 6310 (other codes on request from the
Assistant Systems Librarian - [e-mail])

        Press: <RETURN>

(If you don't know the terminal type, simply press <RETURN> and the
system will attempt to provide a reasonable format).

5. The system will try to establish a connection to the Library's
   computer. If the connection fails the system will respond with "Remote
   is busy". The system will then break the connection with your terminal,
   and you will need to restart from Step 1 to establish a new connection.
    If the connection is established, the system will respond with:-

        a) clearing the screen
        b) give instructions for starting and finishing an ALICE
                   session i.e.

6. Type "Q" to start, <CR>~.<CR> to end.

    You can now start ALICE, and any subsequent commands will need
to be ALICE commands. Usually, the appropriate ALICE commands are
displayed at the bottom of the screen, but a user should consult the
above- mentioned Guide before any serious use of the system.

To leave ALICE:
1. At any stage of a search within ALICE, you may leave it.

        Press: [RETURN]
        Type: ~. (i.e. tilde, dot) Press: [RETURN]

2. The system will immediately break the connection to the Library's
   computer, and then break the connection between your terminal and the
   system.

PROBLEMS IN USING THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO:
    CRAIGE HICKS

    NB: Expert users can also gain access to ALICE, by using the
*nix command (or equivalent): rlogin library.deakin.oz.au. l alice.



     CANADA

UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA

    The University of Alberta's copy of the CULDAT (Canadian Union
List of Machine Readable Data Files) database is now searchable through
electronic mail messages via Remote SPIRES. This database contains
bibliographic and descriptive information about computer-readable data
files held by Canadian academic and governmental data libraries and
archives. The CULDAT Union List database is a product of the CULDAT
Networked Information System, a project initiated in 1985 under the
sponsorship of the National Archives of Canada.

The data libraries/archives submitting records for inclusion in CULDAT
were:

CUSSDA                 Carleton University. Social Science Data Archive.
NAC                        National Archives of Canada.
STC                         Statistics Canada.
UADL                       University of Alberta. Data Library.
UBCDL                         University of British Columbia. Data Library.
UMISE                         University of Manitoba. Institute for
                           Social and Economic Research.
UWOSS                         University of Western Ontario.

YUISR                      York University. Institute for Social Research.

    The University of Alberta's copy of the CULDAT database
currently contains 1417 records. Each record may include the following
information: CULDAT record no., title, variant title, series, contents,
edition, geographic coverage, time period, frequency, personal and
corporate investigator, producer, sponsor, locations held, distributor,
processor, access restrictions, number of cases, mrdf size, software,
abstract, variables, comments, and cataloger.


CULDAT's searchable indices and their abbreviated names are:

1. TITLE OR VARIANT TITLE:         T, VT
2. SERIES:                      SER
3. PERS OR CORP INVESTIGATOR:      A, CA, PI
4. SUBJECT-KEYWORDS:            ABSTRACT, K, KEYWORD, S, SUBJECT
5. GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE:            GEO
6. CHRONOLOGICAL COVERAGE:      D, DATE, TIME
7. LOCATION:                    LIB, LOC

    Remote SPIRES (RMSPIRES) is a means by which users at other
computing sites can search and retrieve SPIRES database records by
sending electronic mail messages containing RMSPIRES commands to the
host site. The responses to the commands and retrieved items are then
automatically sent as mail file to the requestor. These messages are
sent over NetNorth/Bitnet and related networks; there is no charge to
the user for this communication.

Basic Remote SPIRES search commands are:

FIND         performs a search in the index chosen
BROWSE       returns a random sampling of terms within a chosen index
DISPLAY      prints a single entry by its CULREC number

To search the CULDAT subfile from a VM/CMS site, use the following
command syntax:

    TELL RMSPIRES AT UALTAVM <command> <index> <term> (IN CULDAT

For example,

    TELL RMSPIRES AT UALTAVM FIND AUTHOR RABIER (IN CULDAT


To see what terms are in, for example, the subject index, type:
    TELL RMSPIRES AT UALTAVM BROWSE SUBJECT (IN CULDAT

RMSPIRES will return:

    CANADIAN
    CONTRACTS
    ETHIOPIA
    PERMANENT
    RESPONSIBILITIES


If the CULDAT record number assigned to a dataset is known, you may:

    TELL RMSPIRES AT UALTAVM DISPLAY 893 (IN CULDAT

and RMSPIRES will return a message displaying the record for
"Euro-barometer 9: employment and unemployment in Europe" (CULREC 893)

*From a non-VM/CMS site*, send a single-line message to RMSPIRES AT
UALTAVM where the message syntax is:

<command> <index> <terms> (in CULDAT , as in:

    FIND LOCATION UBCDL (IN CULDAT

The right-hand search truncation character for all indices is: '?' For
example, typing:

    FIND T CANAD? (IN CULDAT

will locate all items with titles containing the words Canada, Canadian,
Canadians, etc.

Boolean searching using AND and OR is supported.

To obtain further information about the CULDAT database, type:

    TELL RMSPIRES AT UALTAVM EXPLAIN CULDAT

    The University of New Brunswick is pleased to announce that our
online catalogue, known as PHOENIX, is now available over the Internet.
    To access PHOENIX, TN3270 to unbmvs1.csd.unb.ca (131.202.1.2). A
screen will appear with a menu of choices. To search PHOENIX choose
option 8. (Other functions will require a UNB account.) The first
PHOENIX screen will appear.
    To disconnect, use your TN3270 software to drop the connection.
Or, from the PHOENIX command line, type Stop<cr>. A screen will appear
giving further directions. Note: you should know what key is mapped to
the CLEAR function. This will be different for each software package but
Ctrl-Home may work.
    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.
    The University of New Brunswick is one of Canada's oldest
institutions of higher learning, with roots dating back to 1785. It
offers degrees in administration, arts, computer science, education,
engineering, forestry, law, nursing, physical education and science. The
Harriet Irving Library and the branches at Engineering, Education and
Science and Forestry have a number of strengths which may be of interest

     GERMANY

UNIVERSITY OF KONSTANZ
POLYDOS.UNI-KONSTANZ.DE

    POLYDOS.UNI-KONSTANZ.DE is the machine of Univ. 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)

     ISRAEL

INTERUNIVERSITY COMPUTERIZED CATALOG SYSTEM--ALEPH

    Access to the InterUniversity Computerized Catalog System, known
as ALEPH (Automated Library Expandable Program - Hebrew university) is
available via TELNET. ALEPH is a fully distributed catalog system, that
is interconnected via DECNET.
    There are seven universities in Israel:

Bar-Ilan University
Ben-Gurion University
Haifa University
Hebrew University
Technion
Tel Aviv University
Weizmann Institute of Science

    Each university runs its own catalog system but all catalogs are
interconnected via ALEPH and users can switch from one catalog system to
another once they are inside the ALEPH system. DECNET handles the switch
transparently.
    To gain access to any of the systems, you must TELNET to any one
of the following systems:

ALEPH.BIU.AC.IL                 132.70.9.36
TAUVAX.TAU.AC.IL                        132.66.32.6
ALEPH.HUJI.AC.IL                128.139.4.207
WISLIB.WEIZMANN.AC.IL           132.76.64.14
LIB.TECHNION.AC.IL                      132.68.1.20
LIB.HAIFA.AC.IL                 132.74.1.100

    The userid to use is ALEPH.  No password is required.  The
initial menu you will receive will look like this:



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Terminal selection

1.  Visual 55/65 (block mode, Latin only, unless terminal has Hebrew
    chip installed)
2.  VT100 (Latin only)
3.  VT102 (Latin only, unless accessed using Israeli ALEPH KERMIT)
4.  Visual 220 (block mode)
5.  TTY (Latin only)
9.  PC (used with special block mode ALEPH emulator)
10. Elbit DS2000
11. VT220 protocol (VT220,VT320,VT340,VT420,V603, etc.  Latin only, unless
    terminal has Hebrew chip installed)

Terminal types for standard terminals (displays Latin, Hebrew, Arabic,
etc.)
=============================================================================
17. VT320
18. VT420  (Hebrew implementation by 22-Jan-1990)
19. Visual 603 (Hebrew implementation by 10-Feb-1990)
       (17, 18 and 19 support ALEPH soft fonts)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Aleph supports use of soft fonts (terminal types 17,18,19) if
you have a standard VT320, VT420 or Visual 603 with DEC multinational
European standard chip. Languages available include Hebrew and Arabic
(Greek and Cyrillic will be added in the future. Note that Hebrew and
Arabic are not implemented for all three terminal types (see Terminal
Selection screen above). Terminal types 1 and 4 use a Hebrew chip
specially adapted and only available in Israel. Terminal types 3 and 9
use public domain diskettes available in Israel. If you have a VT220
protocol terminal with a standard Hebrew chip using standard HASCII
mapping you can access Hebrew. The Hebrew used is "Israeli 7-bit ASCII"
(96-122) and not IBM 8-bit ASCII or IBM EBCDIC Hebrew.
    To change the language of conversation (e.g. from English to
Hebrew) type a question mark "?" when inside an ALEPH screen.
    If you are accessing the system via TN3270, use "5" as your
display method.
    The next menu you will probably see is:



---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Function selection

1.  Logout
2.  Online Aleph Functions + Iutil
3.
4.  Redefine terminal type
5.  Show batch log
6.  Upload offline Circulation records (PC only)
7.  Show Batch execution queue and Print queue
8.


Select from menu :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Select #2.  This will place you into the ALEPH system. Some
Aleph systems may bypass this menu and place you directly into the Aleph
system. From here you can begin your searches.  To leave the ALEPH
system from any menu issue the command STOP and you will return to the
"Function selection" menu where you can select the "1" option to Logout.

Sample Search menu:

Search                                   Library Weiz.Ins

    Use the LB command to switch from one library system to another,
all the while maintaining your Aleph session.  The switch will be
transparent to you.  During the night Aleph performs many maintenance
tasks that locks certain files.  If you attempt to access Aleph while
the library catalog is locked you will be placed in a demo library named
"DEM".

To call UK OPACs from JANET and other networks: PSS, IXI and the
Internet:

General
The addresses given below are those used to call the OPAC
service: the addresses for other computer services will be different.

    In the UK, using a Network Name Server, call the NRS NAME
    In the UK, using a simple PAD service, call the NRS ADDRESS
    From the Public Packet-switched network (PSS) [see (a) below]
    From the PSS Gateway service call the NRS ADDRESS
    From the Internet [see (b) below], using the NSFNET-RELAY Guest
            PAD service, call the NRS NAME
    From European research networks [see (c) below] - call the IXI
            ADDRESS

Ignore the spaces in NRS and IXI addresses (e.g. for Aberystwyth type
000013000007 -NOT 0000 1300 0007)

System prompts and further lines of input needed after calling a remote
service are shown below the address of each entry: ignore any brackets
[] shown in the Login procedure. Follow each line that you type by
ENTER/RETURN.

Warning! Several OPACs do not provide a Logoff procedure: you must clear
the line from your end: make sure you know how. (Typically: CTRL/P then
A, then CLEAR).

(a) To call a service from PSS:
Calls can be made to JANET from the public packet-switched services
operated in most countries, using the PSS-JANET Gateway Service

1.  Call either the Rutherford Gateway to JANET - A22351919169 or the
London Gateway - A21920010069 (The A prefix is normally replaced for
international calls by 234)
2.  The gateway responds with the prompt:
    :Please enter your authorisation and address in form:
    >(user, password).address
3.  For calls to OPACs on JANET no user or password is required, so reply:
    >.address  (Note the .)
  3.1  Most services require the numeric NRS address, preceded by a full
       stop
               e.g. >.000008012900
  3.2  Janet.News (the Joint Network team's information service) can be
       called as >.news
    NISS, the National Information on Software and Services, as >.NISS

(b) To call a service on JANET from the Internet

The NSFNET Relay at ULCC now supports (as of 3.1.91) a guest
Internet-to-JANET terminal access service. This converts the communication
protocols used on the Internet to those used on JANET.  Accounts are no
longer essential.

A full guide to this service can be retrieved by mailing
[e-mail] with the following text in the message:
    Request: janetpad
    Topic: userguide

In summary:
1. telnet to sun.nsf.ac.uk - currently 128.86.8.7

2. login as janet - in lowercase;  there is no password

3. enter the NRS name of a JANET host when prompted. This MUST be in UK
   order, i.e. uk.ac.janet.news

If you have any comments on the service please send them by e-mail to:
[e-mail]. Any further enquiries should be sent by
e-mail to [e-mail].

Email to addresses on JANET from BITNET and the Internet.

The pattern of mail addresses used within JANET is different from that
on many research networks. They are easily converted: just turn the
elements of the node-name around, so that it ends "AC.UK" rather than
starts "UK.AC". For example, queries from a user on BITNET about this
list should be sent to: [e-mail]

(c) To call a service from another European research network attached to
    IXI

Users wishing to use services on networks attached to IXI must do so
from a registered calling address.

Please ask your Computing Service for advice, or contact your national
coordinating representative - a full list is in IES News no. 29, 1989
(IES News - the Esprit Information Exchange System, is published for the
Commission of the European Communities, Directorate-General XIII:
Telecommunications, Information Industries and Innovation.)
