USC has implemented a new
$1.3 million computerized catalog
in its libraries, university officals
said.
The University of South Car- i
olina Access Network (USCAN) i
uses computer terminals which al- ;
low access to the same information
that would usually take more than i
six million cards in the traditional 1
card catalog. The cards being re- i

million volumes. i
Dr. George Terry, systems vice i
president for libraries and collections
at USC, said, "Our new computer
catalog ties the USC campus i
system together.Now that we have
the entire system linked up, students
and researchers can profit i
more readily from the holdings and i
resources within the USC system."
The USCAN is used to find bibliograhic
information and,call
numbers for most materials held
within the USC system.
With the instructions printed
clearly on the screen and a help
command available, almost anyone
can use the system with little, if
any, difficulty.
The library holdings have been
computerized using the Northwestern
Online Total Intergrated System
(NOTIS). NOTIS permits the
user to search for a library holding
by typing in the author's name, the
title, a subject or a key word,
Terry said.
NOTIS has the capability to allow
access through a personal
computer with a modem. In addition
to the standard information
shown on the terminals, it is possible
to see if the book is available
or on loan, he said.

University Police said they were
busy at the Roost last Thursday
taking reports of criminal activity
that took place during the week.
Two male students reported that
an unknown person entered their
unlocked rooms and took several
items. University Police are investigating
both burglaries. Both victims
said the burglaries occurred
sometime between Sunday evening
and Wednesday night.

Fraternity members at USC agreed to take the NIC
pledge seriously.
"Hazing has no part in the brotherhood development
program. The brotherhood development program
was established to help fraternities find the right person
for their fraternity, so that both can benefit. Hazing
or degrading a potential brother does in no way
assist a fraternity in developing a potential brother,"

Epsilon.
