Subject: More URL's


Mike Mellinger was rather disturbed that I hadn't included a URL for
DRA's webcat when I sent out my announcement note the other day. 
The omission was totally unintentional, and I assured Mike that I planned 
to distribute more URL's as I found them, and hoped that subscribers to 
the list would do the same.  So here are a couple more vendor starting 
points:


   For DRA:   http://www.dra.com/products/draweb/draweb.HTM
              http://myriad.middlebury.edu 
              http://utcat.library.utoronto.ca:8002


   For VTLS:  http://www.vtls.com/virtua/index.html


For other WebZ interfaces:


   OCLC:        http://tikal.dev.oclc.org:2000/


   CNIDR:       http://vinca.cnidr.org/reference/reference.html


   MSU:         http://zweb.cl.msu.edu/


Finally, let me play devil's advocate, and suggest something to help
people "think outside the box": The Movie Database.  I like to imagine the 
Citation Indexes implemented this way.   Pick the site closest to you:


   United Kingdom:
      http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Movies/
   Germany:
      http://www.leo.org/Movies/
   Australia:
      http://ballet.cit.gu.edu.au/Movies
   USA (East):
      http://www.msstate.edu/Movies/
   USA (West)
      http://rte66.com/Movies


The movie database is a volunteer effort and, to some extent, the quality 
of the data reflects this.  But it's free.
