Online Catalog Becomes Web-Based

In April, the IU Northwest Library's online catalog workstations dramatically changed appearance. IUCAT, the Indiana University Libraries' Online Catalog and the Inspire databases such as Academic Search Full-Text Elite and Business Source Elite can now be accessed through a web browser interface. This method enables users to print or e-mail articles from the EBSCOHost and other indexes more easily. Come to the library and try it! The system can be accessed from any IU Northwest computer by pointing your web browser to the IU Northwest Library Electronic Information Page. If you are accessing from home, you can use your telnet software to connect to infogate.ucs.indiana.edu.

INDYCAT, IU's prototype web-based catalog has recently been added to online catalog menu at the IU Northwest Library. INDYCAT is part of the new Horizon automation system developed by Ameritech that all Indiana University Libraries will eventually use to create computerized records for books, journals and other library materials. The INDYCAT web-based catalog currently contains records for the IUPUI main library, the Herron Art Library and the IUPU Columbus Library. For more information, about INDYCAT, see IUPUI's INDYCAT page or go directly to the INDYCAT Web Catalog. Please note: To locate books and other materials at IU Northwest and other IU campus libraries, use IUCAT on the IO (Information Online) system.
