This is to confirm that we have indexed all the Forum tapes and other ``official'' material in the PARC videotape collection. This file is now a component of our online catalog. You can search on author, title, keywords in abstract, lab, etc..
You can consult our catalog either from your desktop, in any local computing environment, or from the public terminal in the library, if you prefer to visit us. Instructions for the Cedar world follow; if you use Viewpoint, get the InfoVAX icon from the PARC directory under Network. We have written instructions if you wish.
Following is a sample search, #1.
Search #2, as you see, was unsuccessful. This is because ``Flamingo'' is not in the official or ``V'' tape collection of some 500 titles.
We will tackle the special titles contributed by diverse PARC sources next, authors permitting.
