Before doing this for the first time, you may benefit from a practice run at the library, since the telnet version is somewhat different from online access at the library OPACs. You can use the Library Home Page to access wide variety of databases besides our catalog. Such databases include catalogs of other libraries, online journal indexes, an online union list to let you know which libraries in the area own the journals that you need, and many gateways to information on various topics. Since availability is constantly changing, and since differing skills are needed to use many of these resources, it is recommended that you ask a reference staff person for assistance when using any of these for the first time. Once you have developed the ability to use these resources, you may benefit by calling us at 7275 or 7273 if you have a quick question while online.
Exciting times are ahead.
