MIRLYN AND LAN RESOURCES
MIRLYN is the University of Michigan
University Libraries online public catalog.
The system is the largest in the country with over three million
records.
Searching for locally held resources in linguistics generally
begins in the
MIRLYN on-line system. MIRLYN includes the catalog of University Library
holdings in all formats (MCAT), catalogs from other local and regional
library from which holdings can be obtained either through U-M borrowing
privileges or interlibrary loan (REMOTE),
and indexes to journal and periodical articles that may or may not be
held by the University Library (INDEXES)
Beginning in January, 1996, a new LAN network will make selected bibliographic resources available which were previously available only through CD-ROM. They will be accessible through public work stations or any ethernet connection on campus.
CD-ROM INDEXES AND OTHER NON-NETWORKED BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCES
Some indexes to scholarly literature in linguistics are not
available
through the campus network but can be consulted on-site at the University
Library. Examples of CD-ROMS of interest to linguists and not yet
accessible via the network include:
Statistical Masterfile (Documents Center--Hatcher)
Lexis/Nexis (Information Center & Documents Center)
A complete list of campus CD-ROM
and other electronic bibliographic
resources is maintained and regularly updated by Library staff.
PAPER INDEXES, BIBLIOGRAPHIES AND REFERENCE TOOLS
Paper indexes to periodical articles often extend back earlier in time
than the coverage available in electronic form.
Bibliographies generally cover books, book chapters, special
collections, as well as periodical articles on a topic
The Reference collections in Hatcher and
Shapiro cover core resources
in almost all fields with emphasis on the Social Sciences and Humanities.
A list of major resources in Linguistics available for consultation
in the Hatcher Reading Room is updated quarterly by Library staff.
