            The Harvard OnLine Library Information System (HOLLIS)  pro-
            vides  access to a number of databases including two library
            catalogs.  The  union  catalog  of  the  Harvard  University
            libraries  contains  approximately  two  million records for
            books,  journals,  manuscripts,  scores,  sound  recordings,
            visual  materials,  and computer files in the collections of
            most  of  the  Harvard  libraries.   (While  this   database
            represents  only  a subset of the six million titles held at
            Harvard, it does include most items cataloged  since  1977.)
            The catalog of older Widener Library materials contains more
            than one million short records for books cataloged  for  the
            main research library before 1977.

            HOLLIS is available to all.  Many of the  HOLLIS  databases,
            including both the union catalog and the older Widener cata-
            log, are available with  no  access  restrictions.   Certain
            databases  within  HOLLIS  may be restricted to Harvard stu-
            dents and employees because of agreements with the  database
