The service as it is known today was instituted in 1992. CitaDel is accessed via Eureka using either the World Wide Web or telnet. None of the literature I read discussed any plans for greatly increasing that number either. Today it represents sales from 1599 to the present. Today it is incorporated into the bibliographic catalog as a file, akin to that of the eight formats.
Records are retrievable by searching the auction house, sellers, title and date of sale.
The English Short Title Catalog is a file that is an attempt by RLIN member libraries to provide records for all letterpress materials produced in England or its territories before 1800. This file is a cooperative effort between the ESTC office at the University of California, Riverside, the American Antiquarian Society and the British Library. The file is a record of the hand press book in European countries between 1455 and 1830. Currently the file has records from only six libraries but already the file numbers 660,000 records. The HPB file is not yet online but subscription service is planned for September 1998.
