            The Boston University Online Catalog (TOMUS) provides access
            to  over  one  and a half million volumes and two and a half
            million microforms.  The collection represents a majority of
            holdings for all libraries on campus.

            TOMUS is made by Carlyle Systems Inc. located in  Emeryville
            California.   The system implements a simple keyword search-
            ing strategy  to  locate  information  in  various  indexes,
            author, title, subject, and call number among them.  Records
            can be displayed using several display formats:  brief, nor-
            mal, and full.

            The online help screens are a valuable  tool  for  beginners
            but become unnecessary after several uses.
