FLORIDA'S STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM- NERVM.NERDC.UFL.EDU Instructions follow for accessing the online library catalogs of Florida's State University System, brought to you courtesy of the Florida Center for Library Automation, Gainesville, Florida.
The catalogs, called LUIS, use the NOTIS software marketed by NOTIS Systems, Inc. (Evanston, Ill.) The software resides on an IBM 3090-600 owned and operated by the Northeast Regional Data Center (NERDC) in Gainesville.
There are actually nine LUIS catalogs, one for each university. For each library, the percentage of its collection searchable in LUIS is different and is always changing. To find out what a library's LUIS catalog covers, contact that library.
LUIS is available: 7:30 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Sunday
Computer time for searching the catalogs is paid for by FCLA. Any telecommunications fees incurred are the responsibility of the user.
--Signing On: ENTER: telnet nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu --SYSTEM DISPLAY: Various messages as the connection with NERDC is attempted. --SYSTEM DISPLAY: NERVM logo screen with "Command ==>" at the end. ENTER: dial vtam (following "Command ==>) --SYSTEM DISPLAY: NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE ENTER: nerluis fclskya (below NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE") --SYSTEM DISPLAY: SIGN-ON COMPLETE (briefly) --SYSTEM DISPLAY: LUIS User Menu
At this point you can select the LUIS catalog that you wish to search.
The selected catalog's introductory screen will display; it contains
brief search instructions and commands for getting more detailed help
screens. Brief search instructions are also on every screen. If you get
lost, type "e" (no quotes) and

You can return to the menu from any LUIS screen by entering "luis"
(without quotes). Among the menu choices is a union index to
author/title entries in all of the catalogs. At this time, ONLY authors
and titles can be searched through this index. However, you may repeat
any author, title, or subject search in multiple catalogs using the
following shortcut:
1. Perform the search in one catalog.
2. Retrieve the menu.
3. Change catalogs.
4. Type "r" (without quotes) and
Signing Off:
When you are finished, sign off of LUIS using either of the following
methods:
1. ENTER: %off (from any LUIS screen) ***** or ***** ENTER: luis (from
any LUIS screen) SYSTEM DISPLAY: LUIS User Menu ENTER: (number of menu
option for exiting LUIS)
For either method, the following applies:
--SYSTEM DISPLAY: SIGN-OFF COMPLETE (maybe, briefly)
--SYSTEM DISPLAY: NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE ENTER: undial (below NERDC VTAM

You will be back in your home system.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN LIBRARY CATALOGS MADISON AND MILWAUKEE CAMPUSES
NETWORK LIBRARY SYSTEM (NLS)
Telnet NLS.ADP.WISC.EDU
The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public catalog of the
libraries at the University of Wisconsin- Madison and the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports separate online catalogs for each
campus.
The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million titles
cataloged since 1976, located in 25 libraries on the campus and at the
Center for Research Libraries in Chicago. This represents roughly 50% of
the collections. The UW- Milwaukee catalog contains approximately
900,000 titles and represents 85% of the general collection.
Network Access:
If available on your system, please use tn3270 (telnet supporting 3270
emulation) to access blue.adp.wisc.edu When connected you are presented
a menu from which you select NLS, the library catalog. (If you don't
know how your function keys are mapped, TAB to the option you want and
press ENTER.)
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 . 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. Upon entering a valid terminal type, select
NLS from the menu displayed 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.
To exit, enter the command exit on any screen to return to the Main.
Here you select the option to quit. This returns control to your local
host.
Who Can Use The Catalog:
The University of Wisconsin library catalogs for the Madison and
Milwaukee campuses are currently available to all interested parties.
Miscellaneous Information:
Xterm users or other windowing software users must set their window size
to 80 characters x 25 lines.
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) 262-8880, or via the Internet at:

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 following 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
provided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.
KEY PURPOSE: KEYBOARD DEFINITION:
Send (called the BLUE key in NLS) ENTER or RETURN
Erase-to-end-of-field
(called the YELLOW key in NLS) Ctrl-e
Delete character Ctrl-d
Escape key PF11 (default mapping)
Insert/Overstrike toggle Escape space
