COMPUTATIONAL FACILITIES NERDC The University of Florida is host campus for the North- east Regional Data Center (NERDC) of the State Univer- sity System of Florida. Facilities available to students, faculty, and staff through the NERDC include three central-site computers: an Amdahl 470 V/6-ll with 10 megabytes, and IBM 3033 Model N-12 with 12 mega- bytes (both running under OS MVS/SP-JES2), and an IBM 4341 with 8 megabytes running under VM/SP. These are supported by a combination of IBM 3330, 3350, 3370, and 3380 disk drives. Nine track and seven track tape drives, two 1403 high-speed line printers, and three 3705 communication controllers. The center's facilities are used for instructional, admin- istrative, and research computing for the University of Florida and for other state educational institutions and agencies in northern Florida. The organizations directly responsible for computing at the University of Florida are the Center for Instructional and Research Computing Activities (CIRCA-UF); University of Florida Administra- tive Computing Services; Shands Teaching Hospital & Clinics, Inc., Data Processing Division; theJ. Hillis Miller Health Center; and the Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences. Access through NERDC to four other Regional Data Centers in the state is available through the State University System Computer Network. NERDC provides facilities for input and output in the form of punched cards, magnetic and paper tape, disks, graphics, and Computer Output Microfiche (COM). NERDC supports batch processing through more than 1,000 interactive terminals. These terminals support interactive VM/CMS, VS APL, CICS/VS, ATMS, TSO, MUSIC, ASSEMBLER, BASIC, WATFIV, FORTRAN, sev- eral versions of SCRIPT, PL/I, COGO, PANVALET, and the Terminal Control Program (TCP), a locally written editor and remote-job-entry facility. Graphics output is available through a Gould 5100 Electrostatic Plotter operated at NERDC's central site. Extensive software is provided including support for the major high-level languages including FORTRAN, ASSEMBLER, COBOL, PL/I, PASCAL, and ALGOL; the SYSTEM 2000 and INQUIRE data base management systems; MARK IV and EASYTRIEVE file handlers and report generators; student-oriented compilers and interpreters including WATFIV, PL/C, ASSIST, PASCAL, WATBOL, and SPITBOL; most major statistical packages including SAS, SPSS, SCSS, BMDP, and TROLL; text- editing programs such as ATMS and SCRIPT; several libraries of scientific and mathematical routines including IMSL and the HARWELL library; graphics programs such as SAS/GRAPH, PLOT79, SURFACE II, GDDM, and Gould plotting software; mini and micro computer sup- port; and many other program packages, local and IBM utilities, and special-purpose languages. More information is available through the NERDC's Guidebook for New Users, NERDC's monthly newslet- ter (/UPDATE), volumes of the NERDC User's Manual, and the NERDC User Services section. CIRCA The Center for Instructional and Research Computing Activities (CIRCA) provides a variety of computing services for University of Florida students and faculty. CIRCA provides consulting, programming and analysis, data base design and implementation, statistical analysis, equipment repair, data entry services, open-shop unit- record equipment, interactive terminals, and remote- batch operations which are available at several locations across the UF.campus. CIRCA operates two VAX 11/780 computers for instruc- tional use, each with two megabytes of real memory, an RM80 124-megabyte system drive and an RP07 516-megabyte user drive, and a TU78 tape drive. The machines communicate via DECNET and run the VMS operating system. Terminals are connected via a Gandalf port selector providing local and remote terminal access to both NERDC and CIRCA computers. Dial-up facilities are also provided. Software includes FORTRAN COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL, SNOBOL, APL, IMSL, TSP, SPICE, MINITAB, BMDP, CERRITOS Graphics, and support for Imlac and GiGi graphics terminals. Additional information is available from the CIRCA consultant on duty in 411 Weil Hall. UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES The Library system consists of two central units, Library West and Library East, and branch libraries serving the Colleges of Architecture, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, and Law, as well as the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, the J. Hillis Miller Health Center, the Departments of Chemistry and Music, and the P.K. Yonge Laboratory School. In addition, reading room facilities have been provided for Journalism and Com- munications, Physical Education, Health and Recreation, Physics, and the dormitory areas. The Libraries' holdings exceed 2.2 million catalogued volumes, more than 2 million microform units, and extensive collections of ephemera and uncatalogued newspaper runs. The Documents Department is a regional depository for United States government publi- cations, and a depository for the European Communities and the State of Florida. The Map Library maintains over 310,000 maps and 143,000 aerial photographs, the largest collection in the Southeast. Research resources of national significance are held by subject and special collections: the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica, the Baldwin Library, which empha- sizes children's books printed in English before 1900, The Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts, the Univer- sity Archives, and the Latin American Collection, which contains the most comprehensive Caribbean collection held by an American university library. The Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts con- serves a heterogeneous collection of books with par- ticular strength in the early English eighteenth century, New England literature before 1900, Sir Walter Scott, contemporary British and American poetry, and the
