(4)  Description

     The UMDNJ University Libraries Health Information Network
     (ULHIN) allows any user to search an online catalog of
     books, audiovisuals, and journals held by one or more of
     four UMDNJ campus libraries.  Each library catalog may be
     searched individually, or the combined union catalog for all
     four libraries can be searched as a whole.

     Also part of the ULHIN is the miniMEDLINE system (a local
     subset of MEDLINE).  Access to this database, which contains
     three years of data for 550 medical journals, is restricted
     to UMDNJ faculty, staff, and students.


(5)  Who Can Use the Resources/Restrictions

     The online catalog is available to the public.  Access to
     miniMEDLINE is restricted to the faculty, staff, and
     students of the University of Medicine and Dentistry, due to
     licensing agreements with the National Library of Medicine.
     Members of UMDNJ note that these are general logon
     instructions.  Use the specific instructions for your UMDNJ
     campus.
