Subject: Online Catalogs for Six Philadelphia Libraries
The Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries
(PACSCL) is pleased to announce the establishment of the PACSCL Online
Union Catalog.
Six libraries are currently part of this catalog, with another three
expected join in the coming months. The union catalog can be reached
through the catalog pages of any of the six member libraries:
The Academy of Natural Sciences
The Athenaeum of Philadelphia
Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies
Library Company of Philadelphia (contributing its records to the project)
Philadelphia Museum of Art
St. Charles Borromeo Seminary
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania is undergoing building renovations
and retrospective conversation of its catalog and is expected to join the
project shortly after the building reopens in July. The Rosenbach Museum
& Library will join in a few months, and the Presbyterian Historical
Society at some time in the future. When this project is completed, all
twenty PACSCL member libraries will have online catalogs in place or in
process.
The catalogs of the six libraries listed here, and of other PACSCL member
libraries with online catalogs, can be reached from URL

>Issue: Online Services
>Lycos search engines are looking for MP3 files which makes some music
>industry companies uneasy. Lycos announced Monday it is starting a new
>search service that offers easy access to a half-million high quality
>recordings. Web users simply will type in the name of an artist and Lycos
>will find MP3 files for that artist on the Web. Music industry officials
>are worried that many of the songs are online illegally. Lycos' product
>manager for multimedia, Brian Kalinowski, said "Lycos as a company is
>obviously very concerned about copyright protection. It's certainly not our
>goal to support the unauthorized distribution of music." Lycos said "MP3"
>are among the five most frequent search phrases asked for on two search
>engine sites which they operate. In December, the recording industry
>announced the Secure Digital Music Initiative with plans to try to stem the
>flow of pirated music online. The new Lycos MP3 search engine is at
