- INTRODUCTION
-
- Internet-Accessible Library Catalogs and Databases is coauthored by Dr.
- Art St. George of the University of New Mexico and Dr. Ron Larsen of
- the University of Maryland. Dr. St. George says this document, began as
- an effort to provide additional service to the network community
- locally. However, it became apparent that the library resources were of
- broader appeal than that.
- It contains a listing of over 100 online library catalogs and
- databases available within the United States and beyond. It contains
- listings of U.S. and international library catalogs and databases,
- dial-up libraries, Campus-Wide Online Information Systems, and bulletin
- board systems. Each listing gives a brief description of the resource
- and instructions on how to access it, as well as places to contact for
- more information. Listings include such material as Columbia
- University's online library catalog (CLIO), Pennsylvanias State
- University online card catalog system (PENpages), and the Colorado
- Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL) and its 25 individual resource
- listings of libraries and information databases, such as the Metro
- Denver Facts database.
- This catalog is an ongoing project. If you have any suggestions,
- comments, or additions, please send them to Dr. Art St. George by
- electronic mail to stgeorge@unmb.bitnet or stgeorge@bootes.unm.edu.
- This document is formatted and edited by Karen McKelvey of the
- California Education and Research Federation Network (CERFnet)
- (karen@cerf.net). Carlos Robles of CERFnet also contributes to the

- Description
- The MELVYL catalog is the online union catalog of monographs
- and serials (periodicals) held by the nine University of
- California campuses and affiliated libraries. The monograph
- database, which includes records for books and nonbook
- materials such as maps, films, musical scores, and sound
- recordings, contains over 5.5 million unique titles
- representing nearly 11 million holdings at UC, the California
- State Library, and the Center for Research Libraries.
- Collection 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, and science fiction.
-
- The periodicals file, which includes newspapers, journals,
- proceedings, etc., contains over 640,000 unique titles
- representing over 1.2 million holdings from UC, Stanford
- University, the University of Southern California, the
- 19-campus California State University system, and selected
- other libraries.
-
- The MELVYL catalog also provides access to two databases of
- article citations: MEDLINE and Current Contents. The MELVYL
- MEDLINE database contains the current five-year file of the
- National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database, which includes
- article citations and abstracts, indexed from over 4,000 health
- sciences journals. The Current Contents file, from the Institute
- for Scientific Information, contains one year of citations to
- articles in over 6,500 journals in seven broad subject
- disciplines. Use of these files, unlike the books and
- periodicals files, is restricted to the UC community.
-
- The "DLA Bulletin" and the "Mynd of the MELVYL Catalog," two
- publications describing the online catalog and its development
- and use, are also available online. The MELVYL catalog also
- provides access via TELNET to other remote library systems on
- the Internet.
-
- Network Access
- The system is on the Internet and can be accessed using the
- host name melvyl.ucop.edu or any of four Internet addresses
- (31.1.0.1, 31.0.0.11, 31.0.0.13, 31.1.0.11).
-
- Who Can Use the Catalog
- The MELVYL online catalog and periodicals file are universally
- available. Access to MEDLINE and Current Contents files are
- restricted under a license agreement to the University of
- California faculty, staff, and students.

- branch libraries. The catalog is complete for monographic
- holdings from 1977 to the present and incomplete for

- of converting older monographic records, so more of these
- records appear in the catalog daily. All of the serial titles,
- both past and present, are reflected in GLADIS. GLADIS also
- contains records for maps, manuscripts, audiovisual materials
- and computer software. Circulation information (whether an item
- is checked out or not) is available for some library locations

-
- 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 (&).

- 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.

- 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.

- supported by typing PF1 (or PF3, PF5, etc.) after any ">>"
- prompt.
-
- The direct command language is a modified form of the language
- developed by the Western Library Network (WLN). Use of this
- Josiah option requires familiarity with the WLN command
- language. The direct command supports bibliographic file
- searches by author, title, subject, series, isbn/issn, and
- year of publication; authority file searches by author, subject,
- and series; and call number browse. Boolean and keyword are also
- available.
-
- The menu searches are programmed to execute the command
- language behind the scenes. Each menu search uses the text
- typed on the menu screen as the search key for a direct
- command. In addition, each menu search is programmed to try
- alternate search strategies in order to locate bibliographic
- records.
-
- Logging off:
- 1. Press the PF10 key to display the Josiah logoff option and choose
- the option from the menu

- Library System: ALICE
-
- ALICE - the Deakin University Library OPAC
-
- Internet access to Deakin University Library (ALICE)
- Access to the Deakin University Library's online library system
- can be gained from any terminal which is connected to the
- INTERNET network.
-
- The Library's online system contains records for all items held
- in the Library, as well as items which are on-order. In
- addition, the on-line system also contains similar information
- on the holdings at the Gordon Technical College (GTC) Library.
-
- Instructions on the use of ALICE is given in the booklet "Guide
- to the Public Inquiry Terminals" available from the Library's
- Information Desk. Ph: +61 52 471351.
-
- NB Access can also be obtained by direct dial-in or by using
- X.25, details of which are available separately.
-
- To gain access:
- 0 Terminal setup: no specific terminal settings required. Terminals
- already connected to AARNet should not be altered.
- 1. telnet library.deakin.oz.au
-
- You may need to have already established a session on a
- computer at your institution, which is connected to AARNet.
- Alternatively, you may be able to establish a connection
- directly from your terminal server. Consult your local
- Computing Centre for further advice.
-
- 2. If the connection is successful, you will receive something similar
- to:-
-
- SunOS UNIX (sol.deakin.OZ.AU.)
-
- login:
-
- 3. Type: alice Press: <RETURN>
-
- 4. The system will then indicate when ALICE was last used, display any
- "messages of the day", and then try to determine the type of terminal
- being used. If it cannot be determined automatically, the system will
- prompt you for the device type.
-
- TERM = (unknown)
-
- Type: <the code corresponding to your terminal type>. Some terminal
- types are:- tatung Tatung VT-4100 vt100 DEC VT-100 vt52 VT-52 v3

- Assistant Systems Librarian - craige@deakin.oz.au)
-
- Press: <RETURN>
-
- (If you don't know the terminal type, simply press <RETURN> and the
- system will attempt to provide a reasonable format).
-
- 5. The system will try to establish a connection to the Library's
- computer. If the connection fails the system will respond with
- "Remote is busy". The system will then break the connection with
- your terminal, and you will need to restart from Step 1 to establish
- a new connection.
-
- If the connection is established, the system will respond
- with:-
-
- a) clearing the screen
- b) give instructions for starting and nishing an ALICE
- session i.e.
-
- 6. Type "Q" to start, <CR>~.<CR> to end.
-
- You can now start ALICE, and any subsequent commands will need
- to be ALICE commands. Usually, the appropriate ALICE commands
- are displayed at the bottom of the screen, but a user should
- consult the above- mentioned Guide before any serious use of
- the system.
-
- To leave ALICE:
- 1. At any stage of a search within ALICE, you may leave it.
-
- Press: [RETURN]
- Type: ~. (i.e. tilde, dot) Press: [RETURN]

- The University of New Brunswick
- 131.202.1.2
-
- The University of New Brunswick is pleased to announce that our
- online catalogue, known as PHOENIX, is now available over the
- Internet. We believe that we are the first Canadian library to
- make this capability available to off-campus users.
-
- To access PHOENIX, TN3270 to unbmvs1.csd.unb.ca (131.202.1.2).
- When the logon screen appears, TAB down to the "Application"
- field and enter "netlib" (without quotation marks) followed by a
- carriage return. The first PHOENIX screen will appear.
-
- To disconnect, use your TN3270 software to drop the connection.
- Or, from the PHOENIX command line, type Stop<cr>. A screen will
- appear giving further directions. Note: you should know what
- key is mapped to the CLEAR function. This will be different for
- each software package but Ctrl-Home may work.
-
- Access is restricted to three simultaneous users from the
- Internet.
-
- You will be logged out automatically after five minutes of
- inactivity or if your session exceeds thirty minutes.
-
- PHOENIX was a joint project by the library and UNB's Computing
- Services Department. It was developed in the period 1979-1980.
-
- PHOENIX searches can be done using either the Menu or Command
- modes. Initially, the user is placed in the Command Mode but
- can switch to Menu by typing Menu<cr>. Returning to Command
- Mode is accomplished by pressing the Pf3 key.
-
- Searching in Command is accomplished with the "s" command. Set
- results are shown through the use of the display command. The
- format is d set# format range. Typing d5l 1-5 would display
- records 1-5 of set number 5 in the long format. Formats
- available are (s)hort, (m)edium, (l)ong, (t)itle and x for
- MARC.
-
- Browsing of indexes is also possible in Command mode.
-
- For more information use the online help facility or the online
- lessons. E-mail enquiries may also be sent to SLOAN@UNB.CA.
-
- PHOENIX consists of a number of databases. Most are full MARC
- format. The major exception to this is ENLIST. This database is
- maintained by the Engineering Library. Brief records are
- provided for all Engineering Library books, theses, pamphlets,
- microforms and some journal articles. In addition, some faculty
- members and special libraries within Fredericton maintain their
- collections using ENLIST. Browsing is not supported in ENLIST.
-
- The University of New Brunswick is one of Canada's oldest
- institutions of higher learning, with roots dating back to
- 1785. It offers degrees in administration, arts, computer
- science, education, engineering, forestry, law, nursing,
- physical education and science. The Harriet Irving Library and
- the branches at Engineering, Education and Science and Forestry
- have a number of strengths which may be of interest to Internet
- users. We have a particularly strong collection in Canadian
- Maritime Provincial history, including Loyalist history. (Not
- all Loyalist materials are in PHOENIX. Send enquiries to
- HILDER@UNB.CA) UNB is also a Canadian and New Brunswick
- government documents repository. GovDocs enquiries may be sent
- to LS09@UNB.CA.
-
- The University also has a growing and vibrant campus in Saint
- John. Their library is called the Ward Chipman Library and its
- catalogue is searchable from PHOENIX by typing BEGIN WCL.
- Science Fiction fans may be interested in viewing their strong
- collection of this type of material.
