- The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public cata-
- log of the libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
- and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports a
- separate online catalog for each campus.
-
- The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million
- titles cataloged since 1976 located in twenty-five libraries
- on the campus and at the Center for Research Libraries in
- Chicago. This represents roughly fifty percent of their
- collections. The UW-Milwaukee catalog contains approxi-
- mately nine hundred thousand titles and represents eighty-
- five percent of the general collection.

- If it is available on your system, please use "tn3270" (tel-
- net supporting 3270 emulation) to access "blue.adp.wisc.edu"

- menu from which you select "NLS", the library catalog.
- Either use function keys to select an option or tab to the
- option you want and press _e_n_t_e_r.

- providing the necessary 3270 emulation. From your local
- host use "telnet" to access "nls.adp.wisc.edu"
- (128.104.198.20). 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).
- After entering a valid terminal type, select "NLS" from the
- menu 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. Enter
- the command "exit" on any screen to return to the main menu.
- To exit from NLS, return to the main menu and select the
- option to "quit". This returns control to your local host.

- Via Tn3270 And Telnet." For a copy of this document, or any

-
- 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 follow-
- ing 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 pro-
- vided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.
