This was sent to me individually, but I think it was intended for SCREEN-L. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Noticed your note this morning and gave it a more local try - being on PSU's main campus. Having using LIAS for searching titles at Pattee before I was interested in your "ACTIVATE MARC" option which I gather searches the Library of Congress data base even though those books may not be within the PSU collection. Within LIAS I had over 100 hits when I searched on Hemingway. When I entered ACTIVATE MARC I had 129 hits under AUTHOR HEMINWAY. Part of the problem you may have had revolves around the way LIAS continues its search in that it looks for the word "NEXT" or "PREVIOUS" (I believe N or P will also work)... If it still doesn't work for you just mail be a message.. Mike
