Canadian Internet Accessible Libraries This document contains a handy list of some 21 online library catalogues in Canada accessible via the Internet. Each entry gives basic information about the catalogue: 1) name of the institution, 2) name of the online catalogue service, 3) command to use (either telnet or tn3270), 4) Internet address, 5) special instructions, and 6) directories where the catalogue is listed. Although some of these addresses are available through other sources, many remain unpublished. For additional information on Internet-accessible libraries there are a number of international directories which may be of interest. Beyond the name of the institution and the Internet address, these directories fre- quently provide a contact person and more detailed signon instructions. The two most popular directories are known colloquially as the Billy Barron list and the Art St. George list. Billy Barron of the University of North Texas publishes "UNT's Accessing On-Line Bibliographic Databases", (current version May 30, 1991). Art St. George of the University of New Mexico, publishes "Internet-Accessible Library Catalogs & Databases" (current ver- sion April 16, 1991). Coverage is similar, though the format and degree of detail of the directories are different. They describe some 200 library catalogues, mostly in the United States but with selective listings for Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel and Germany. The Internet guide for Australia is called "AAARNet Resource Guide" and the title for the United Kingdom is, "OPACS in the UK". All four of these directories may be downloaded from the University of North Texas computer. Files are available via anonymous ftp (file transfer protocol) on vaxb.acs.unt.edu. All files are located in the "library" subdirectory. Canadian Internet Accessible Libraries (last updated 15 June 1991) The notation, "listed in BB", means the catalogue is included in the Billy Barron list. Similarly, "listed in ASG" indicates the catalogue is de- scribed in the Art St. George list.
