Michael Also in the Los Angeles area, the City of Pasadena has a similar effort underway through terminals at it's public library branches and other locations, providing access to an online library catalog covering the collections in the Pasadena library and those in the public library system in the adjoining city of Glendale. This PALS system is also accessible through a local computer network known as PARIS. Individuals and businesses may subscribe to PARIS for a relatively low annual fee. PARIS terminals are also located in the central and branch libraries. The system serves as a sort of community bulletin board, calendar and clearing house. It also gives access to a number of databases containing information of (primarily) local interest. The Pasadena Public Library should be able to provide more complete and accurate information on both systems. Barry Herlihy Heritage Square Museum [log in to unmask]
