After connecting to the computer, press <return> several times until the system

Access from the Internet
Users of any computer connected to the Internet (which includes most multi-user
computers on campus) can connect directly to THOR without using a telephone
line. Different combinations of computer hardware will connect in different
ways, but some common types are discussed below. If none of these combinations
seem to describe your situation, or neither method works, call the Library
Systems Department (317-494- 2857) for assistance. You might also get help from
your local computer system administrator.
From terminals connected to a UNIX computer:
- log on to your UNIX account as usual
- make sure the TERM environment variable is set correctly
- type, "tn3270 lib.cc.purdue.edu" and press RETURN
From terminals connected to the VM (IBM) computer:
- log on to your VM account as usual
- type, "telnet lib.cc.purdue.edu" and press ENTER
From many off-campus computers on the Internet: - follow the appropriate set of
instructions above - if "lib.cc.purdue.edu" does not work, use
"128.210.9.8" instead
The system should display the THOR database selection menu. If anything else
happens, or if the system prints numerous extraneous characters with the menu,
disconnect and seek help.
Once properly connected to THOR, you must know how to type the IBM <enter> and
<clear> functions. Users already connected to an IBM system can use the same
keys that they use for their own account. For UNIX users, these keys are set by
their System Administrator for each terminal type. Frequently, <ctrl> and <j>
will work for <enter>, and <ctrl> and <z> will perform a <clear>, but check
with your System Administrator for the correct combinations.

T H O R -- THe Online Resource
THOR is an on-line database of information about books, periodicals, and other
materials in the Purdue University Libraries. All serials and books added to
the Libraries after June 1976 can be found in THOR. Records for older books are
continually being added.
THOR is controlled through a set of single letter commands followed by an equal
sign (=). Type the command, your search topic, and press the ENTER key. Upper
and lower case are treated the same. For instructions on searching, type the
search command without the equal sign. Example: "a" by itself gives
instructions on author searching.
Prior to searching, press the clear button until the THOR menu screen appears.
Then select either the BOOK or FILM/VIDEO database to search.
