If you are on an X workstation (not your PC), here's some information:

You can type:

        add cardcat
        library

to get to various card catalogs.  Note that this service is unsupported and
experimental only.  There are at least 30 educational institutions whose
libraries are accessible over the internet.  A few of these also have useful
databases:

 + abstracts from all IEEE articles and conference papers since jan.88 (RPI)
 + Boston Library Consortium periodical catalog (UCalifornia :-)
 + faculty funding opportunities (PennState)
 + faculty research interests (for RPI,UNewMex,UPenn)
 + latin america newsletter (UNewMex)

These can be accessed directally (ie  telnet infotrac.rpi.edu),
or by using a gnuemacs Info file which shows information,
and creates telnet`s to the libraries (but only under XWindows).

On athena:      type  attach cardcat; /mit/cardcat/bin/libraries &

Over dialup (login on Athena first), you can do the following:

        telnet library.mit.edu

This will connect you to an experimental and unsupported front-end for
Barton.  The instructions should be simple and self-explanatory.  To
exit, hit Control-] and when you are at the "telnet>" prompt, type
"quit".

If you want to get to Barton directly, without dialing up to Athena, the
phone number is:

	258-6700

For information on this, you can get the Documents _Welcome to Barton!_
and _Dial Barton_ at the MIT Libraries.

This service provides information about all books, serials, maps, music,
and visual materials.  It is up free until December.
