JANET-OPACS OPACS in the UK: a list of interactive library catalogues on JANET compiled for the JANET User Group for Libraries by the University of Sussex Library 5 May 1991 ( Library@uk.ac.sussex.cluster ) _____________________________________________________________________________ JANET addresses of 67 online public access library catalogue services (OPACS), with notes on access to JANET from the Internet, the European research networks attached to IXI, and the international public packet-switched networks. Aberdeen Kent Oxford Poly Aberystwyth Lancaster Poly of Central London Aston Leeds Poly Polytechnic South West Bangor Leeds Univ Reading Bath Leicester Poly Royal Greenwich Observatory Belfast Leicester Univ Rutherford Appleton Lab Birmingham Liverpool St Andrews Bristol London U.

Follow each line that you type by ENTER/RETURN. Warning! Several OPACs do not provide a Logoff procedure: you must clear the line from your end: make sure you know how. (Typically: CTRL/P then A, then CLEAR). ______________________________________________________________________________ (a) To call a service from PSS: Calls can be made to JANET from the public packet-switched services operated in most countries, using the PSS-JANET Gateway Service 1. Call either the Rutherford Gateway to JANET - A22351919169 or the London Gateway - A21920010069 (The A prefix is normally replaced for international calls by 234) 2. The gateway responds with the prompt: :Please enter your authorisation and address in form: >(user,password).address 3. For calls to OPACs on JANET no user or password is required, so reply: >.address (Note the .) 3.1 Most services require the numeric NRS address, preceded by a full stop e.g. >.000008012900 3.2 Janet.News (the Joint Network team's information service) can be called as >.news NISS, the National Information on Software and Services, as >.NISS _______________________________________________________________________________ (b) To call a service on JANET from the Internet The NSFNET Relay at ULCC now supports (as of 3.1.91) a guest Internet-to-JANET terminal access service. This converts the communication protocols used on the Internet to those used on JANET. Accounts are no longer essential. A full guide to this service can be retrieved by mailing info-server@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk with the following text in the message: Request: janetpad Topic: userguide In summary: 1. telnet to sun.nsf.ac.uk - currently 128.86.8.7 2. login as janet - in lowercase; there is no password 3. enter the NRS name of a JANET host when prompted. This MUST be in UK order, i.e. uk.ac.janet.news If you have any comments on the service please send them by e-mail to: janetpad@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk. Any further enquiries should be sent by e-mail to liaison@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk. Email to addresses on JANET from BITNET and the Internet. The pattern of mail addresses used within JANET is different from that on many research networks. They are easily converted: just turn the elements of the node-name around, so that it ends "AC.UK" rather than starts "UK.AC". For example, queries from a user on BITNET about this list should be sent to: LIBRARY@CLUSTER.SUSSEX.AC.UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c) To call a service from another European research network attached to IXI Users wishing to use services on networks attached to IXI must do so from a registered calling address. Please ask your Computing Service for advice, or contact your national coordinating representative - a full list is in IES News no. 29, 1989 (IES News - the Esprit Information Exchange System, is published for the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate-General XIII: Telecommunications, Information Industries and Innovation.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Printed copies of this list are sent to subscribers to the JANET User Group for Libraries. Subscribers receive: current directories, the JUGL Newsletter, discounts on conferences and workshops. Yearly rate 10 pounds: orders to Mrs J. Yeadon, Lyon Playfair Library, Imperial College, London, SW7 2AZ o Printed copies will be included with Part 4 of "The Guide for Libraries on JANET". The cost of the Guide is 12 pounds, to cover all 4 parts and updates.
