- I would like to add that increasingly, libraries are permitting remote access
- to their computerized catalogs, via modem -- the Sunnyvale (CA) Public Library
- is one such critter. Here, I can perform a limited number of commands (search
- by title, author, subject; display entries, # of copies), but cannot (yet)
- reserve books or access inter-library databases.
-
- How about others? Also, does anyone know of online, ASCII-format collections
- available for browsing/ftp/etc. over the Internet?
-
- I know, for example, that one can ftp to ftp.uu.net and find a lot of
- interesting stuff in the /docs directory...
