- Connecting NovaNET and PLATO to an External Database: The University of Illinois Library Online Catalog. Avner, Elaine Avner, Allen Bibliographic Databases Bibliographic Records College Libraries Computer Assisted Instruction Information Retrieval Menu Driven Software Online Catalogs Online Searching Users (Information) This paper provides the documentation for the program that provides access to the University of Illinois Online Catalog (OLC), together with a script to be used with 17 slides explaining the development of the program. Advantages of connecting a database to a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system are outlined and sources of additional information are listed. It is noted that: (1) the menu-driven lesson assists users connected to the online catalog through a NovaNET port; (2) users submit requests in OLC language but can request definitions of format; and (3) the program provides information in a notesfile to determine whether the lesson worked correctly and what types of input errors occurred.
