                      ANNOUNCING LC MARVEL
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Library of Congress Machine-Assisted Realization of the Virtual
Electronic Library (LC MARVEL) is now available over the Internet.
LC MARVEL uses Gopher software and is therefore most easily
accessed from another Gopher server or by using a PC-based Gopher
client.

      POINT TO:     marvel.loc.gov   PORT 70
                       ( 140.147.2.15 )

Although direct telnet access is available, only 10 simultaneous
external connections will be supported initially.  We recommend
accessing LC MARVEL through other Gopher servers or by using a
PC-based Gopher client, because no usage restrictions are imposed.
For direct connection,

     TELNET TO:          marvel.loc.gov

      LOGON AS:              marvel

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal of LC MARVEL is to serve as the Campus-Wide Information
System for the Library of Congress' staff and additionally to offer
service to the U.S. Congress and constituents throughout the world.

Although LC MARVEL is still experimental, it is now being made
publicly available over the Internet.  Please address all comments
and reports of any technical problems experienced when using the
system to:
