Jeremy Butler and others, Re: accessing the Library of Congress. There is a limited access to the LC title/author catalog by the public by TELNETing DRA.COM. DRA.COM is a private firm that has licensed the LC catalog and sells membership to libraries. Whether individuals can also subscribe I don't know. As a sort of come on device, DRA.COM permits on subscribers to do title and author searches free of charge, but not subject searches. To do that you have to be a subscriber. Insofar as about 200 libraries allow you do do subject searches for free over Internet, I'm not sure the LC catalog subscription is really worth the cost.
