            Northwestern  University's  LUIS  online  catalog   provides
            author,  title,  and subject access to approximately 700,000
            bibliographic records, including monographs processed by the
            main library since 1970 and all serials, regardless of date.
            Holdings of the Medical,  Law,  Dental,  and  Transportation
            Libraries  and the United Libraries of the Garrett Evangeli-
            cal and Seabury Theological Seminaries are also included.

            Remote users of Northwestern's LUIS catalog who are familiar
            with  other  NOTIS-based  online  catalogs  will  note  some
            differences in our implementation.  Of  particular  interest
            may  be  NU's  provision  of  cross-references in the online
            catalog, a feature that  is  to  appear  in  the  commercial
            release  scheduled  for  the end of 1990.  This LUIS version
            does not provide keyword/Boolean searching, but  does  offer
            what  we  call  "search  qualification,"  allowing a user to
            limit an author, title, or subject search result by  any  of
            several  elements  present  in  the  precoordinated indexes:
            date, format (e.g., serial, video), other word,  or  holding
            library.   Use of this feature is explained in a help screen
            which may be accessed by typing an ampersand (&).
