.B
lookup <name>
lookup <name1> <name2>
lookup mailgroups

.SH DESCRIPTION
Lookup 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.
.PP
Personal / athena names:
.PP
If two names are entered, lookup looks for a direct match of both. If no direct\
match is found, lookup displays records matching  all occurrences of each name \
entered.

Library mailgroups:
.PP
If 'name' is the email name  of  an  official  library  mail group, lookup displays the full name of the group and the real and email names of the members of the group.

mailgroups:
.PP
The command 'lookup 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.

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

Examples:

                Personal name / email name -
                  lookup joe
                  lookup tom jones
                  lookup bookworm
                  lookup steering committee
