Here at U of D our library has an electronic card catalog system.
Except for a fair bit of down time while it was being set up, I haven't
noticed any problems.  A couple of days ago I received word that we
could access the DELCAT system via the main port selector, the same way
we'd dial up to vax1.  One thing I do appreciate, the library keep the
old manual card catalog.  Just in case there is a power failure, or
system crash, the night before a paper is due.....
