            MIRLYN is a computer-based system incorporating an OPAC  and
            other files.  MIRLYN currently contains bibliographic, hold-
            ings, and circulation records for  most  of  the  University
            Library's  collection.   It also contains commercial journal
            index files (six  Wilson  files  as  one  file,  "PsycInfo",
            "MathSci",  "PAIS", "National Newspaper Index", "A Matter of
            Fact") and local files, all with links to the  OPAC  biblio-
            graphic file.

            Telnet to host  "hermes.merit.edu".   This  system  provides
            access to UMNet, the University of Michigan's wide area net-
            work.  Users will receive the  prompt:  "WHICH  HOST?"   and
            should  respond  "MIRLYN".  Terminal or communications pack-
            ages must be set to emulate a VT100.

            The OPAC is available to all.  Commercial  and  local  files
            are  accessible  in all University of Michigan Libraries and
            to all off-site users who are University  of  Michigan  stu-
            dents,  faculty,  or  staff.  Commercial and local files are
            generally not accessible to non-University of Michigan  off-

            The contents of MIRLYN are growing, both in  terms  of  OPAC
            records  (where efforts are being made to include previously
            uncataloged library collections) and other files, both  com-
            mercial  and  local.   Access to full text files, on another
            Library resource, is now being implemented.
