   NAME
     liblook - utility to display  information  about MIT Libraries' staff
     and mailgroups.


   SYNOPSIS
     liblook <name> liblook <name1> <name2> liblook mailgroups


   DESCRIPTION
     Liblook checks the MIT Libraries' staff database for all  occurrences of
     the tex t  string  indicated  by  'name'.  'Name'can  be  a  person's
     first or last nam e, a person's email name, or the name of  a  library
     mail group.

     Personal / athena names:

     If two names are entered, liblook looks for a direct match of both. If
     no directmatch is found, liblook displays records matching  all
     occurrences of each name entered.

     Library mailgroups:

     If 'name' is the email name  of  an  official  library  mail group, lib-
     look displays the full name of the group and the real and email names of
     the members of the group.

     mailgroups:

     The command 'liblook mailgroups' displays a listing of all current
     'official' MIT  Libraries' mailgroups. Library mailgroups are identified
     by '-lib' (e.g. the group corresponding to the circulation  committee
     is cir-lib).               Core mailgroups  will  be  those  groups
     corresponding  to standing committeesof the MIT Libraries.


   NOTES
     Liblook will search for and find only members of the MIT Libraries'
     staff and library mailgroups.
