People (esp. who work in libraries) who have Java applet friendly
browsers, may wish to have a try with the interface mentioned in the
following cut-posting. This particular application of Java to increase
accessibility to Library catalogues will be reviewed from a librarians
perspective in the Web version of Ariadne in a few weeks time.
Note that there are other sites that use the same applet, listed at:

==============================Posting from Web4Lib mailing list:
I have been experimenting with a Java applet for telnet within a web
page. It works extremely well. The real work is being done by the
authors:
Matthias L. Jugel and Marcus MeiFner
The applet is available for free at:
http://www.first.gmd.de/persons/leo/java/Telnet/
My implementation of it is at:
http://snymoraa.snymor.edu/pages/library/telnet/netopac.htmlx
It automatically logs you into our catalog. Its not Z-39.50 but it
works great and is being improved up on by the authors daily. This is
the first really useful Java applet that makes sense to put on a library
page. Take a look at my use of it and let me know what you think.
