Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 145. Wednesday, 29 May 1991. Date: Tue, 28 May 1991 10:03:00 -0400 From: Ann Miller <FAC_AMILLER@JMUVAX> Subject: Accessing Cambridge U. library Last week Mr. Ranson asked how to access Cambridge University's online catalog. I am sending the instructions along. You must use INTERNET to access the library. If your computer only has BITNET access this won't work. A couple of things to remember: 1) it is polite to use other people's computers during their off hours, this won't be a problem with Cambridge; 2) remember that online catalogs, generally, have relatively contemporary publications, special collections and archival materials are usually not included. If you are accessing via a PC and communications program be sure that you are set up to emulate a VT100 environment. This is the most common environment when accessing library catalogs. Cambridge University Location: Cambridge UK To access: 1. Type [at your mainframe's main prompt] TELNET SUN.NSF.AC.UK 2. At the login prompt, type janet 3. At the hostname prompt, enter uk.ac.cam.ul 4. Enter Y. To exit, type END. The Cambridge software is different and takes a bit of getting used to. Plan some play time so as to get used to the system. If SHAKSPEReans wish I would be happy to put together something to post on accessing other libraries as well. There are a many libraries out there which allow remote access. I have been working on a workshop for faculty here and could send what I have along. Any takers?
