Listmembers familiar with the ESTC who have tried to search it within
the past week or so may have noticed a new look. That is because the
file has moved to a new operating system. The ESTC is now available
two ways: through Eureka, and through RLIN. When you log on, you
will find instructions directing you to one or the other of these search
engines.

Might I suggest that you read through the Help, Explain, etc. screens?
You will note a number of new indexes, commands and displays. You should
also note that some existing indexes now have slightly different names.
Finally, librarians will note that the ESTC is now a USMARC file.

I will be more than happy to provide additional information to anyone
who contacts me individually. Or, if the members of the list prefer, I
will be glad to provide more information to the list as a whole.

Thank you,
