LUIS (Library User Information Service) is the online catalog of the State
University System (SUS) libraries. LUIS runs on hardware belonging to the
NERDC. The software is maintained by the Florida Center for Library Automation
(FCLA), a SUS agency.
There are actually nine LUIS catalogs, one for each university. For each
library, the percentage of its collection searchable in LUIS is different and
is always changing. To find out what a library's LUIS catalog covers,
contact that library.
LUIS is available
7:30 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Monday - Friday
8:00 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Saturday
10:00 a.m. - 1:00 a.m. Sunday
Logging On to LUIS from the Internet
Use a tn3270 version of telnet to connect to nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu over the
Internet. After reaching nervm, press enter to get past the VM logo screen. CP
READ will be displayed in the lower right corner. Type DIAL VTAM and press
enter. The screen will clear and the message NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE will be
displayed.
From this point, you will need to work your way through several screens to sign
on to LUIS. The following steps show the procedure for signing on. For each
step, type the text in quotes (without the quotes), then press your enter key.
1. From NERDC VTAM IS ACTIVE, type "nerluis" on the next line and press
enter.

2. You will see the WELCOME TO NERLUIS screen. Type "1" here after ENTER
SELECTION HERE and press enter.
3. You will see the NERDC SECURITY MODULE screen. Type "fcl" after GROUP-ID.
The cursor will automatically tab to the next line after "fcl" and your
operator ID, so do not press enter. For demonstration purposes, type "aaya" for
both the operator ID and the password (this will "charge" the session to the
University of Florida for statistical purposes). The password will not display
as it is typed. Press enter after typing the password. If you receive the
message INVALID OPERATOR ID or INVALID PASSWORD, retype the ID or password in
the proper space and press enter.

catalog, and press enter. This places you in that card catalog and gives you
the LUIS: LIBRARY USER INFORMATION SERVICE introductory screen. You have
successfully signed on to the catalog of your choice. Follow the instructions
on the screens for searching LUIS.
5. To change catalogs, type "menu" from the command line of any screen to
return to the catalog menu screen.
How to Search in LUIS
LUIS is a "user friendly" computer system. It has self-instructing introductory
screens, "help" screens, and prompt messages on each screen that you can
consult for guidance. You need only know that a search of the catalog must be
made under AUTHOR, TITLE, or SUBJECT by typing one of the following commands
into the terminal and pressing the ENTER key.
a = author's name (last name first)
(e.g., a = asimov)
t = title of a book or journal
(e.g., t = robots of dawn)
s = subject heading
(e.g., s = computer)
sm = medical subject heading
(e.g., sm = genetics)
