            The Harvard Online Library Information System (HOLLIS)  pro-
            vides  access to a number of databases including two library
            catalogs.  The  union  catalog  of  the  Harvard  University
            libraries  contains  approximately three million records for
            books,  journals,  manuscripts,  scores,  sound  recordings,
            visual  materials,  and computer files in the collections of
            most of the Harvard libraries.  (This database includes most
            items  cataloged since 1977, and is adding records for older
            materials at the rate of approximately one million per  year
            through a major retrospective conversion project.) The cata-
            log of older Widener Library materials contains about a mil-
            lion short records for books cataloged for the main research
            library before 1977.
