Chapter 2: Library Catalogs


            A large number of libraries allow access  to  their  library
            catalogs via the Internet.  Such catalogs can be very useful
            for finding uncommon books not available at a local library.
            Once  a  book  is  located, it can often be borrowed by your
            local library through Interlibrary  Loan.   Another  popular
            use of library catalogs is to check citations or references.
            Many catalogs also support more extended  reference  facili-
            ties.

            Please note that  on-line  catalogs  often  have  a  limited
            number of ports. Users are asked not to abuse their access.

            We would like to acknowledge the considerable assistance  of
            Ron  Larsen, Art St. George, and Joe St. Sauver in compiling
            this section.
