Yes, Jon, there are other library catalogs available for electronic
access. One of the best ways into them is through Gopher, an Internet
search program. If you don't have Gopher available on any of your
machines, you can connect to the original Gopher server (the Mother of all
Gophers) at the University of Minnesota by following these 2 steps:

1. telnet consultant.micro.umn.edu
2. Log in as "gopher"

A menu will appear through which you can connect to library catalogs
in Colorado, Nevada, California, even the Library of Congress in
Washington, D.C. You can also gain access to weather information for
North America, files of recipes, sounds to play on your workstation,
and a host of other fun things. 

Enjoy!
