suggestions.

                           TERMINAL SELECTION
                           ******************
Sample Menu:
-----------
1.  Visual 55/65
2.  VT100
3.  VT102
4.  Visual 220
5.  TTY
9.  PC
10. Elbit DS2000
11. VT220 protocol (VT220,VT320,VT340,VT420,Visual603, etc.)
Terminal types for soft fonts: Users from Abroad

18. VT420
19. Visual 603
Terminal types for soft fonts: Israeli Users
27. VT320
28. VT420
29. Visual 603

Pointers and Suggestions:
------------------------
1. Generally speaking, try terminal types 2, 5, or 11.
   They will enable you to search in English and other
   Latin alphabets (French, Spanish, transliterated Cyrillic, etc.)
   If you are accessing the system via TN3270 choose terminal type 5.

2. Hebrew and other soft fonts:
   ALEPH supports soft font alphabets (Hebrew, Cyrillic, Arabic, Greek, etc.).

   For users from abroad the soft font terminal types are 17, 18, or 19.
   You must have a VT320 or VT420 or Visual 603 terminal/emulation to display
   these fonts.

   A great deal of material has ben cataloged in Hebrew, and
   a lesser amount in Arabic.  Cyrillic cataloging has only just
   begun.  Some Arabic records have been cataloged in transliterated
   Hebrew, and some Cyrillic records have been cataloged in
   transliterated English.  Consult each OPAC for specific details.

Suggestions for Israeli Internet Users:
--------------------------------------
1. If you are interested in Hebrew, and own a pc bought in Israel,
   use the Hebrew Kermit program (HKermit), written at Hebrew
   University, to connect to ALEPH.  You should be using a vt100
   emulation, and your pc must have an EGA card.

   To obtain HKermit

   ftp noa.huji.ac.il
   login: anonymous
   password: your_full_name
   cd pub
   set file type binary
   get mskermit.ini

   Please note that the file is an initialization file. It is recommended
   that you create a separate directory in which you keep a copy of your
   mskermit.exe and the special mskermit.ini. Use this directory for
   accessing ALEPH.  Choose terminal type 3 when you use Hebrew Kermit.

2. If you have a VT220 protocol terminal with a standard Hebrew chip
   using standard Hebrew ASCII mapping you can display Hebrew. The
   Hebrew used is DEC 8-bit ASCII.  Choose terminal type 11.

3. Terminal types 1 and 4 have a Hebrew chip specially adapted and
   only available in Israel.

4. Hebrew and Other Soft Fonts:
   If you have a VT320 or VT420 or Visual 603 with a Hebrew chip,
   use terminal types 27, 28, and 29 to display Hebrew and other
   soft font alphabets.
                              ************
                              ONLINE ALEPH
                              ************

Once inside ALEPH, you will generally see a Main Menu Screen from which
you can begin to search the online catalog. Instructions are available
in Hebrew and English. To change from one language to another type a
question mark "?".

Use the LB command to switch from one library OPAC to another, all the
while maintaining your ALEPH session.  The switch will be transparent to
you.  At times a library might be inaccessible. This is generally at
night, when maintenance jobs are running that lock certain files.  If
this happens switch to another library in the network.

To exit Aleph type STOP.
