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), Pennsylvania's 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.

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.

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.

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 2. Press the PF3 key 3. At the passthru menu, press the PA1 key 4.

PONI (Public ONline Information) is the name for our NOTIS library public catalog system. The PONI catalog contains over one million bibliographic entries including over 185,000 U.S. government documents. SMU has completely converted the shelflist records for all campus libraries: Central Libraries, Underwood Law Library, Bridwell [Theology] Library, and the Business Information Center. Central libraries include Media Services, Special Collections in the Degolyer Library, ISEM Reading Room [Institute for the Study of Earth and Man], undergraduate/graduate collections in Fondren Library, Science Information Center and Hamon Arts Library. Accessing PONI: PONI's Internet address is vm.cis.smu.edu. You must use TN3270 to access PONI. Instructions for using PONI are clearly described in the introductory and help screens. PONI is available Monday - Saturday from 7:30 am to 2 am and from Noon Sunday to 2 am Monday, Central Time. Once you get access to our distinctive sign-on screen, enter PONI. Then clear the CICS "good morning" message and enter LUSM. To exit from PONI press clear twice and enter CSSF LOGOFF. This should disconnect your session. If you have problems making connections call for computer center help at (214) 692- 4357 or send an InterNet e-mail message to HELP@VM.CIS.SMU.EDU. If you have questions concerning the content of PONI contact Carolyn Kacena at (214) 692-3229 or e-mail at VB7R1001@VM.CIS.SMU.EDU. The two clear keystrokes used when exiting PONI are to ensure that the user is completely out of the PONI application. A single clear from the introductory screen is also sufficient. The CSSF LOGOFF will exit CICS and return the user to the SMU VTAM screen or its help menu, but will not terminate the Telenet session from your site to SMU. The termination is done at your local site and depends on your local conventions. You should contact your system administrator for instructions. SMU allows view only access to the technical services side of the NOTIS system, for those who may utilize bibliography software requiring the MARC formatted record. You should see but be unable to edit or change the Bibliographic File, Authority File, and Copy Holdings Record. This may only be of interest to other NOTIS sites, but might be a useful adjunct to the opac portion. HOWEVER, if you find that our security has glitched and you see highlighted elements which you can (or think you can) edit, please advise Carolyn Kacena as soon as possible!
