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
qualication", 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 (&).

SYSTEM: ILLINET Online
Online system for the University of Illinois collection, and
statewide system or over 800 academic, public, and special
libraries throughout Illinois.
Instructions:
1. telnet GARCON.CSO.UIUC.EDU
VT100 emulation is possible but not explicitly present. Logoff
instructions are provided. If the user's software does not
allow specic port addressing, you can telnet to the host or the
address and enter LCS at the login prompt.
HOURS:
Monday - Saturday: 8:00 a.m. - Midnight
Sunday: Noon - Midnight
Database Scope:
Use ILLINET Online to search over 3 million titles in the
collection at the University of Illinois Library. ILLINET
Online also provides searching access to the collections of
over 800 libraries in the state (over 20 million items.)
ILLINET Online consists of two separate but closely linked
systems: LCS and FBR.
LCS is a short-record circulation system, with information
about a book's check out status, location, and call number. It
contains records for nearly everything cataloged at the Univ.
of Illinois Library. LCS also includes records for over 30
other academic libraries in Illinois. LCS searching is made
easy through the LCSgated interface. Online help and
instructions are available by typing HELP when you log on to
the system.
FBR contains more in-depth information about subjects, authors,
titles, and series for books cataloged since 1975 and most
serials cataloged since 1977 (over 1.5 million books) at the
University of Illinois Library. Online help for searching FBR
is available by typing INFO when you enter the system.

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 (317) 494-9400
Number(s) help (317) 494-2857
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.

Description of T H O R THe Online Resource
THOR is an on-line database of information about books,
periodicals, and other materials in the Purdue University
Libraries. All serials and books added to the Libraries after
June 1976 can be found in THOR. Records for older books are
continually being added.
THOR is controlled through a set of single letter commands
followed by an equal sign (=). Type the command, your search
topic, and press the ENTER key. Upper and lower case are
treated the same. For instructions on searching, type the
search command without the equal sign. Example: "a" by itself
gives instructions on author searching.
Prior to searching, press the clear button until the THOR menu
screen appears. Then select either the BOOK or FILM/VIDEO
database to search.

The system offers keyword, boolean search capability. In
addition to author, title, and subject search commands, LIBROS
offers an abstract index and retrieves all keywords from the
abstract field. US GPO records and the City of Albuquerque
Planning Library utilize the abstract field. The command and
abstract is used to retrieve keywords from the abstract field.
Most materials listed in LIBROS are available via interlibrary
loan or individuals may contact the UNM Library's Document
Delivery Service. The Document Delivery Service charges a

one-half of the five million volumes owned by the sixteen
Cornell libraries. Most records are for materials acquired
since 1973. However, records for many items acquired before
1973 have been added to the online catalog, including most
holdings of the Africana, Engineering, Entomology, Hotel, ILR,
Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Veterinary libraries.
The online catalog is usually available from 6:30 a.m. through
4:00 a.m. However, due to computer maintenance requirements,
the online catalog might not be available from 10:00 p.m.
Saturday to noon Sunday, and from 10:00 p.m. to Midnight
Sunday. The online catalog is most heavily used from 2:00 to
4:00 p.m. weekdays and might be slow to respond during those
hours.
