B asic Starting Points
- American Universities
- International Universities
- Colleges and Universities by Country
Once you've found the link to
the library's home page, you have to figure out how to connect
to it. Some libraries (most do so at this point) allow searching
directly from the web, so no other software will be
necessary. Some, however, still require that you "telnet"
to the library's catalogue. This is accomplished by using
Telnet software (described in "Some Basic Terminology"
above). In order to configure your web browser so that you
can link to the library catalogue directly from the
web page, go to "Options" in your web browser. In Netscape,
click on the tab for "Apps," and in the "Telnet Applicaton"
and "TN3270 Application" boxes, you will put the commands
for your Telnet software. Most often that command will
be c:\tcp3270\programs telnet.exe for the Telnet application, and c:\tcp3270\programs\ tn3270.exe for the TN3270 application. If you are using
the Telnet software package to connect to the UConn mainframe
system, you must use the TN3270 executable part of the program,
not the Telnet part. The Telnet software can be downloaded
directly from the UConn FTP Site.
One place that might be of particular
interest is the new COPAC system in Britain. COPAC is an internationally
accessible catalogue giving unified free access to some
of the largest university research library collections
in the UK and Ireland. In the recent past there has been
a time restriction on this system, i.e., it was only available
at certain hours; that restriction appears to have been
lifted. Access is available two ways:
- World Wide Web COPAC
- Telnet Access via copac.ac.uk
Not that you would really want to do this,
but it is possible to do some searches from your mainframe
account. The following databases are accessible via your
mainframe account. Remember, this is done through your
mainframe account, not the World Wide Web. Use the instructions
below, and follow them exactly:
9002 WorldCat/OCLC Database
9003 A&H Search/Arts & Humanities
Search. A citation index.
9004 BookRevDigst/Reviews
of fiction and nonfiction books.
9005 BooksInPrint/R. R. Bowker's Books
In Print.
9006 Diss/Dissertation Abstracts
Online.
9009 RILM/RILM Abstracts of
Music Literature.
From your mainframe prompt, type:
tnvt100
kugebunko.lib.uconn.edu 900X where the X is the last number of the database you wish
to search. Hit enter and wait for instructions.
Online discussions lists are one of the
most useful resources on the Internet. These lists operate
almost as mini-conferences on a particular subject. It
is true--much of the time the discussions can be banal,
and finding the right list for your interest is often
difficult. These discussions are sometimes misnamed "listservs."
Actually, "listserv" refers to one of the software programs
which run an online discussion; others include "majordomo"
and "listproc." Sometimes finding the discussion is the
most laborious part. Here are a few places at which you
might search for discussion lists on a particular subject
of interest.
