Web Interfaces to Library Catalogs
More than 50 South Carolina on-line library catalogs can now be accessed
through the Internet. To use most of these catalogs you must telnet to a host
computer and enter a username and password. But three state libraries now
have Web interfaces for their catalogs:
- The Citadel
- http://www.citadel.edu/library/catalog.htm
- College of Charleston
- http://libcat.cofc.edu/
- Francis Marion University
- http://libcatalog.fmarion.edu/
Try this new way of accessing on-line catalogs with your Web browser--you'll
like it! At least three other South Carolina libraries have recently
purchased Web interfaces for their catalogs and will be implementing this
software within the next few months.
To see which South Carolina library catalogs can be searched through the Internet, visit
SCIway Web's library section http://www.sciway.net/lib. These
pages include Web links and automated telnet logins. However, the telnet
logins will work only if your browser has telnet plug-in software.

South Carolina Historical Society's Catalog is Unique
Most South Carolina on-line library catalogs help you find books, journals,
magazines, and similar publications. But the South Carolina Historical Society's on-line
manuscripts catalog includes only information about the historical documents
in the Society's archives. In addition copious document descriptions often
include related historical and biographical information that can't be found
anywhere else. Exploring the Society's catalog is like reading an entrancing
book about South Carolina's past.
You can access the South Carolina Historical Society's Web site and on-line catalog at
http://www.southcarolinahistoricalsociety.org/ (a new address). Both of these resources were
developed by Peter Wilkerson, the Society's archivist. Peter and the Society
are also co-developers of the history section of SCIway Web (see
http://www.sciway.net/hist/).
