            The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public  cata-
            log  of the libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
            and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  NLS  supports  a
            separate online catalog for each campus.

            The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million
            titles cataloged since 1976 located in twenty-five libraries
            on the campus and at the Center for  Research  Libraries  in
            Chicago.   This  represents  roughly  fifty percent of their
            collections.  The  UW-Milwaukee  catalog  contains  approxi-
            mately  nine  hundred thousand titles and represents eighty-
            five percent of the general collection.

            If it is available on your system, please use "tn3270" (tel-
            net supporting 3270 emulation) to access "blue.adp.wisc.edu"
            (128.104.198.10).  When connected you are presented  with  a
            menu  from  which  you  select  "NLS",  the library catalog.
            Either use function keys to select an option or tab  to  the
            option you want and press _e_n_t_e_r.

            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"
            (128.104.198.20).  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).
            After  entering a valid terminal type, select "NLS" from the
            menu 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.   Enter
            the command "exit" on any screen to return to the main menu.
            To exit from NLS, return to the main  menu  and  select  the
            option to "quit".  This returns control to your local host.

            The University of Wisconsin library catalogs for the Madison

            interested parties.

            Xterm users or other windowing software users must set their

            For help using NLS or to obtain a free "NLS Computer Catalog
            User's Guide," contact the Memorial Library Information Desk
            at  (608)  262-3193,  or  Dennis  Hill  via  the   Internet:
            dhill@vms.macc.wisc.edu.

            More detailed information on accessing NLS via the  Internet
            is  documented in: "TCP/IP Network Access To The NLS Catalog
            Via Tn3270 And Telnet." For a copy of this document, or  any
            other information, contact the Automation Help Desk at (608)

            "glshelp@vms.macc.wisc.edu".

            Note on keyboard mappings:

            Because keyboard mappings are defined by the tn3270 software
            on  the  client's host computer, we are not able to tell you
            definitively how your keyboard will be mapped.  The  follow-
            ing  chart  shows a selection of the tn3270 keyboard mapping
            used on many UW Madison VAX  computers.   These  definitions
            are also used when accessing NLS via telnet as they are pro-
            vided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.
