            LIAS is the online catalog of the Pennsylvania State Univer-
            sity Libraries.  The catalog contains approximately 1.5 mil-
            lion unique titles, representing not only  the  holdings  at
            the main campus at University Park, but also the holdings of
            the twenty campus libraries of the Commonwealth of  Pennsyl-
            vania.   In  addition  to monograph and serial records, LIAS
            provides  bibliographic  access  to  the  maps   collection,
            archive  and manuscript collections, parts of the government
            documents collection, and the  machine-readable  data  files
            available on campus.
