Putting Bibliographies on Internet

        I recently placed a large bibliography about ants
(17,000 citations) on LUIS, the library catalog system
for the Florida Universities.  This was done in
cooperation with Mark Hinnebusch and the Florida Center
for Library Automation (FCLA).  This database can be
accessed and searched either over the Internet or long-
distance phone lines (see instructions below).  Please
see the accompanying message about MARC format, and
contact me if you would like further details about how
literature databases can be put on MARC systems.
Sincerely,

Sanford Porter, Ph.D.
Research Entomologist
