"We had over 350 undergraduates and Faculty members drop by to see this quiet revolution in information retrieval," Dan Posnansky, associate librarian of the Graduate School of Education, said yesterday.

There are now terminals at four other libraries: Widener, Cabot, Baker, and Countway at the Medical School.
