Using Smartco Direct Dial Acc Available to Purchase

In 1985, DePaul University established an “electronic” library at the O'Hare Campus (formerly Northwest Center) in Des Plaines, IL, with a dial‐access OCLC M300 Workstation equipped with a Hayes Smart‐modem 1200 and Smartcom II software as well as OCLC Terminal Software, version 3.0. At O'Hare, we use the OCLC Online System primarily for searching and then only when patrons' needs cannot be met through LCS (Illinois' statewide Library Computer System). Therefore, the terminal is not in heavy use. However, because it is a public access terminal, it is important that logon procedures be simple.
