NLS supports separate online catalogs for each campus. The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million titles cataloged since 1976, located in 25 libraries on the campus and at the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago. This represents roughly 50% of the collections. The UW-Milwaukee catalog contains approximately 900,000 titles and represents 85% of the general collection. Network Access: If available on your system, please use tn3270 (telnet supporting 3270 emulation) to access blue.adp.wisc.edu When connected you are presented a menu from which you select NLS1, the library catalog. (If you don't know how your function keys are mapped, TAB to the option you want and press ENTER.) Telnet access is also available via a gateway machine providing the necessary 3270 emulation. From your local host use telnet to access nls.adp.wisc.edu . You will be prompted to enter a terminal type. VT100 is the default, or you can enter the command list to display a list of supported terminal types. Upon entering a valid terminal type, select NLS1 from the menu displayed to connect to the library catalog. Upon entering NLS, a screen is displayed at which you either press ENTER to search the Madison catalog or type Mil and press ENTER to search the Milwaukee catalog. To exit, enter the command exit on any screen to return to the Main Menu. Here you select the option to quit. This returns control to your local host.

We believe that we are the first Canadian library to make this capability available to off-campus users. To access PHOENIX, TN3270 to unbmvs1.csd.unb.ca (131.202.1.2). When the logon screen appears, TAB down to the "Application" field and enter "netlib" (without quotation marks) followed by a carriage return. The first PHOENIX screen will appear. To disconnect, use your TN3270 software to drop the connection. Or, from the PHOENIX command line, type Stop. A screen will appear giving further directions. Note: you should know what key is mapped to the CLEAR function. This will be different for each software package but Ctrl-Home may work. Access is restricted to three simultaneous users from the Internet. You will be logged out automatically after five minutes of inactivity or if your session exceeds thirty minutes. PHOENIX was a joint project by the library and UNB's Computing Services Department. It was developed in the period 1979-1980. PHOENIX searches can be done using either the Menu or Command modes. Initially, the user is placed in the Command Mode but can switch to Menu by typing Menu. Returning to Command Mode is accomplished by pressing the Pf3 key. Searching in Command is accomplished with the "s" command. Set results are shown through the use of the display command. The format is d set# format range. Typing d5l 1-5 would display records 1-5 of set number 5 in the long format. Formats available are (s)hort, (m)edium, (l)ong, (t)itle and x for MARC. Browsing of indexes is also possible in Command mode. For more information use the online help facility or the online lessons. E-mail enquiries may also be sent to SLOAN@UNB.CA. PHOENIX consists of a number of databases. Most are full MARC format. The major exception to this is ENLIST. This database is maintained by the Engineering Library. Brief records are provided for all Engineering Library books, theses, pamphlets, microforms and some journal articles. In addition, some faculty members and special libraries within Fredericton maintain their collections using ENLIST. Browsing is not supported in ENLIST. The University of New Brunswick is one of Canada's oldest institutions of higher learning, with roots dating back to 1785. It offers degrees in administration, arts, computer science, education, engineering, forestry, law, nursing, physical education and science. The Harriet Irving Library and the branches at Engineering, Education and Science and Forestry have a number of strengths which may be of interest to Internet users. We have a particularly strong collection in Canadian Maritime Provincial history, including Loyalist history. (Not all Loyalist materials are in PHOENIX. Send enquiries to HILDER@UNB.CA) UNB is also a Canadian and New Brunswick government documents repository. GovDocs enquiries may be sent to LS09@UNB.CA. The University also has a growing and vibrant campus in Saint John. Their library is called the Ward Chipman Library and its catalogue is searchable from PHOENIX by typing BEGIN WCL. Science Fiction fans may be interested in viewing their strong collection of this type of material.
