University of Konstanz
POLYDOS.UNI-KONSTANZ.DE
POLYDOS.UNI-KONSTANZ.DE is the machine of Univ. Konstanz' library, running
KOALA, a proprietary online cataloging/database software.
KOALA may be used to scan the library's inventory of about 1.4 million volumes
(no journals yet) for a given volume, using (combinations of) about a dozen
different search criteria, such as ISBN, ISSN, authors' names, title etc.
The user interface is TTY-like and KEPT ENTIRELY IN GERMAN. It features an
online help system, and a rudimentary message handling facility to contact the
database managers.
KOALA can be reached via telnet to polydos.uni-konstanz.de (134.34.3.5), on
***PORT 775***, during library opening hours (8:00 to 21:30 local time on Mon
to Fri, 9:00 to 19:00 local time on Sat.).
There are a few technical limitations to using KOALA: - the machine is quite
slow (and suffers from overload) - the number of KOALA sessions running in
parallel is limited (currently to 9)
