- SABIO is a Spanish word meaning Wise One or Learned One, and
- is the name of the University of Arizona Library's Informa-
- tion System.
-

- in stages. When completed in June 1993, SABIO will offer
- approimately 2 million bibliographic records from the fol-
- lowing UA Libraries: Main Library, Science-Engineering
- Library, Music Library, and Center for Creative Photography
- Library. The collections to the Architecture Library and
- College of Law Library will be loaded during the summer/fall
- of 1993. At the time this entry was written, there were 1.5
- million records in SABIO. SABIO has online information
- screens that users are asked to consult to the most recent
- information. Select I > Library Information off the main
- menu.
-
- SABIO, which uses Innovative Interfaces, Inc., software,
- runs on two DEC VAX 5900. It features a highly functional

- Buckyballs, a local database that was mounted on SABIO in
- December 1992, may be of interest to many readers. It is a
- unique bibliography on buckminsterfullerenes (AKA: Carbon
- 60), that is maintained by members of the U of A Physics
- Department. Buckyballs can be accessed from SABIO's main
- menu option, O> Other Libraries and Databases. It is
- searchable by SABIO's main search engine and is presently
- updated monthly. The Buckyballs file is available via
- anonymous ftp. Consult the Buckyballs Information screen on
- SABIO for the ftp information as well as a general descrip-
- tion of the Buckyballs database.
