The catalog covers the holdings of most UCB libraries, including the main library, the Moffitt Undergraduate Library, the Bancroft Library and some 23 branch libraries. The catalog is complete for monographic holdings from 1977 to the present and incomplete for monographic holdings prior to that date. We are in the process 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 (six libraries as of September, 1989).

FLORIDA - NERVM.NERDC.UFL.EDU (128.227.128.80) LUIS (Library User Information Service) is the online catalog of the State University System (SUS) libraries. LUIS runs on hardware belonging to the NERDC. The software is maintained by the Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA), a SUS agency. There are actually nine LUIS catalogs, one for each university. For each library, the percentage of its collection searchable in LUIS is different and is always changing. To find out what a library's LUIS catalog covers, contact that library. LUIS is available 7:30 am - 1:00 am Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 1:00 am Saturday 10:00 am - 1:00 am Sunday Logging On to LUIS from the Internet Use a tn3270 version of telnet to connect to nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu over the Internet. After reaching nervm, press enter to get past the VM logo screen. CP READ will be displayed in the lower right corner. Type DIAL VTAM and press enter. The screen will clear and the message NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE will be displayed. From this point, you will need to work your way through several screens to sign on to LUIS. The following steps show the procedure for signing on. For each step, type the text in quotes (without the quotes), then press your enter key. 1. From NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE, type "nerluis" on the next line and press enter. NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE nerluis 2. You will see the WELCOME TO NERLUIS screen. Type "1" here after ENTER SELECTION HERE and press enter. 3. You will see the NERDC SECURITY MODULE screen. Type "fcl" after GROUP-ID. The cursor will automatically tab to the next line after "fcl" and your operator ID, so do not press enter. For demonstration purposes, type "aaya" for both the operator ID and the password (this will "charge" the session to the University of Florida for statistical purposes). The password will not display as it is typed. Press enter after typing the password. If you receive the message INVALID OPERATOR ID or INVALID PASSWORD, retype the ID or password in the proper space and press enter. NERDC SECURITY MODULE PLEASE SIGN ON GROUP-ID fcl OPERATOR aaya PASSWORD aaya (not displayed) 4. You will see the message SIGN-ON COMPLETE. Press the clear key to clear the screen, then type "luis" and press enter to display a menu showing each of the catalogs available in LUIS. Type the number associated with the desired LUIS catalog, and press enter. This places you in that card catalog and gives you the LUIS: LIBRARY USER INFORMATION SERVICE introductory screen. You have successfully signed on to the catalog of your choice. Follow the instructions on the screens for searching LUIS. 5. To change catalogs, type "menu" from the command line of any screen to return to the catalog menu screen. How to Search in LUIS LUIS is a "user friendly" computer system. It has self-instructing introductory screens, "help" screens, and prompt messages on each screen that you can consult for guidance. You need only know that a search of the catalog must be made under AUTHOR, TITLE, or SUBJECT by typing one of the following commands into the terminal and pressing the ENTER key. a = author's name (last name first) (e.g., a = asimov) t = title of a book or journal (e.g., t = robots of dawn s = subject heading (e.g., s = computer) sm = medical subject heading (e.g., sm = genetics) By following other basic card catalog rules (such as ignoring initial articles), you can rapidly gain access to all catalog entries that match the request. Typing in a full author, title, or subject heading is not necessary to get a response. Exiting LUIS To exit LUIS, press your clear key once or twice until the screen is clear. If you have problems clearing your screen with the clear key, you can clear the screen by typing #$#$ on the command line and then pressing enter. This gets you out of the catalog you are in, but you are still signed on to LUIS. When the screen is clear, type logoff and press enter. When you see the message SIGN-OFF IS COMPLETE, you are logged off and the message NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE will reappear. You are not logged off if you do not see these messages. To terminate the telnet connection, type UNDIAL and press enter when the NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE message reappears. Questions and Problems If you get the message "APPLID NOT AVAILABLE" when you enter "nerluis", then LUIS is not available and you will have to try later. Problems accessing LUIS from the Internet should be directed via electronic mail to . Questions about individual library catalogs and holdings should be directed to the staff at that library.

ILLINOIS - CONNECTING TO THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ONLINE CATALOG THROUGH THE INTERNET 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 or ; you will receive the prompt "enter class". Type 60, then press or 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 or 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 qualification," the ability of a user to limit an author, title, or subject search result by any of several elements present in the precoordinated 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 (&). Brian Nielsen Northwestern U.
