NLS - University of Wisconsin Madison and Milwaukee Campuses Network Library System (NLS) _A_d_d_r_e_s_s: Automation Help Desk 212F Memorial Library University of Wisconsin 728 State Street Madison, WI 53706 _E_m_a_i_l: glshelp@vms.macc.wisc.edu _P_h_o_n_e: (608) 262-8880 _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public cata- log of the libraries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports a separate online catalog for each campus. The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million titles cataloged since 1976 located in twenty-five libraries on the campus and at the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago. This represents roughly fifty percent of their collections. The UW-Milwaukee catalog contains approxi- mately nine hundred thousand titles and represents eighty- five percent of the general collection. _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s: If it is available on your system, please use "tn3270" (tel- net supporting 3270 emulation) to access "blue.adp.wisc.edu" (128.104.198.10). When connected you are presented with a menu from which you select "NLS", the library catalog. Either use function keys to select an option or tab to the option you want and press _e_n_t_e_r. Telnet access is also available via a gateway machine _________________________ The information in this section is provided in accor- dance with the copyright notice appearing at the front of this guide.

You will be prompted to enter a terminal type ("VT100" is the default, or you can enter the command "list" to display a list of supported terminal types). After entering a valid terminal type, select "NLS" from the menu to connect to the library catalog. Upon entering NLS, a screen is displayed at which you either press "enter" to search the Madison catalog or type "Mil" and press "enter" to search the Milwaukee catalog. Enter the command "exit" on any screen to return to the main menu. To exit from NLS, return to the main menu and select the option to "quit".

More detailed information on accessing NLS via the Internet is documented in: "TCP/IP Network Access To The NLS Catalog Via Tn3270 And Telnet."

Note on keyboard mappings: Because keyboard mappings are defined by the tn3270 software on the client's host computer, we are not able to tell you definitively how your keyboard will be mapped. The follow- ing chart shows a selection of the tn3270 keyboard mapping used on many UW Madison VAX computers. These definitions are also used when accessing NLS via telnet as they are pro- vided by the 3270 software on the gateway machine.
