Description:
The Network Library System (NLS) is the online public catalog of the libraries
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. NLS supports separate online catalogs for each campus.
The UW-Madison online catalog contains more than 1.7 million titles cataloged
since 1976, located in 25 libraries on the campus and at the Center for
Research Libraries in Chicago. This represents roughly 50% of the collections.
The UW-Milwaukee catalog contains approximately 900,000 titles and represents
85% of the general collection.
Network Access:
If available on your system, please use tn3270 (telnet supporting 3270
emulation) to access blue.adp.wisc.edu When connected you are presented a menu
from which you select NLS1, the library catalog. (If you donUt know how your
function keys are mapped, TAB to the option you want and press ENTER.)
Telnet access is also available via a gateway machine providing the necessary
3270 emulation. From your local host use telnet to access nls.adp.wisc.edu.
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. Upon
entering a valid terminal type, select NLS1 from the menu displayed 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.
To exit, enter the command exit on any screen to return to the Main Menu. Here
you select the option to quit. This returns control to your local host.
Who Can Use The Catalog:
The University of Wisconsin library catalogs for the Madison and Milwaukee
campuses are currently available to all interested parties.
Miscellaneous Information:
Xterm users or other windowing software users must set their window size to 80

Note on keyboard mappings:
Because keyboard mappings are de^ned 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 following 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 provided by the 3270
software on the gateway machine.
Key Purpose: Keyboard Definition:
Send (called the BLUE key in NLS) ENTER or RETURN
Erase-to-end-of-field
(called the YELLOW key in NLS) Ctrl-e

Function keys PF1 - PF9 Escape 1 - Escape 9
