The MELVYL catalog is a computer-based library catalog of
over 7 million unique book titles representing more than 11
million holdings of all libraries in the nine-campus UC sys-
tem and the California State Library. The catalog contains
records of book and periodical (serial) holdings, and other
materials such as maps, films, musical scores, and sound
recordings. Collections 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, science fiction, and many oth-
ers.
The periodical file, containing more than 640,000 unique
titles of newspapers, journals, proceedings, etc., includes
the holdings of Stanford University, the University of
Southern California, the nineteen-campus California State
University system, and selected other libraries.
The MELVYL catalog also includes two article abstracting and
indexing files-MEDLINE and Current Contents. Use of these
files, unlike the books and periodicals files, is restricted
to the UC community. The MELVYL MEDLINE database contains
the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database, which

includes article citations indexed from health sciences
journals from 1966 to the present. The Current Contents
file, from the Institute for Scientific Information, con-
tains citations to journals in seven disciplines. Other
databases include some IAC files and Inspec.
The "DLA Bulletin" and "Mynd of the MELVYL Catalog", two
publications describing the online catalog and its develop-
ment and use, are also available online. The MELVYL Online
Catalog also provides TELNET access to other remote library
systems.
