At the Humanities Research Center here at BYU, we have a 5100 and have
done some Cyrillic on it. We soon hope to experiment with Chinese, but
just haven't got around to it yet. I would be happy to discuss this
further.

Most University automated library catalogues in the UK are accessible
through JANET. Edinburgh University library has produced software
called SALBIN for getting access to them without the need to remember
all the horrendous numbers in the addresses. Some British Libraries are
automated but only allow you to use their computers to access their own
catalogues. The Edinburgh policy is the better one.
