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 formatting of this document.

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.

For whatever hardware and software combination you use, you must learn how to type the IBM and 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: and simultaneously esc O [capital O] p After connecting to the computer, press 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 and 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, and will work for , and and will perform a , but check with your System Administrator for the correct combinations.

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, ~. 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] 2.

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. 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. 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.
