We use an electronic card catalog system here at North Dakota State
University, and we do have dial-up ports into the system.  The system
is quite large, and holds the records for several (I think 17) college
and university libraries in the region.

The system is all keyboard-driven, and seems to be somewhat differently
organized than the LA system you describe.  We do have a BROWSE command
which works very well.  It shows you the number of entries under each
heading and you can scroll forward and backward easily, selecting the
subjects you want.

I have used a system several years ago at the Duluth, MN, public library
(part of the Arrowhead Library System) that used a touch screen, and
had an awkward browse system, somewhat similar to what you describe I
think.

I don't have any stats on the dial-up usage for our system here
at NDSU, but I think I can get them.  I'll post again when I get more
information.  If you have any specific questions you want answered, be
sure to send e-mail so that I can look up the information.

       take care,
