32 / GENERAL INFORMATION 3350 and 3380 disk drives, and 9-track, 7-track, and cartridge tape drives. Output devices include two IBM 4245 high-speed printers, and two IBM 3820 laser print- ers. Telecommunication services are supported by IBM 3705 and IBM 3745 communications controllers. IBM 7171s provide dial-up protocol conversion for selected ASCII CRT terminals so that they can emulate full-screen 3270-family terminals. NERDC provides facilities for input and output in the form of magnetic tapes and disks, impact and laser printers, graphics, and Computer Output Microfiche (COM). Graphics output is available through a Versatec Electrostatic Color Plotter and IBM 3820 laser printers operated at NERDC's central site. NERDC supports job submission/retrieval and interactive processing through more than 2,000 interactive terminals and microcompu- ters which emulate terminals. These terminals can access NERDC's timesharing systems (TSO, VM/CMS, and CICS/ VS) for editing, batch job submission, and interactive language processing. The major production languages supported in all envi- ronments include ASSEMBLER, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL, PL/I, and VS/APL. Student-oriented languages supported in selected environments include ASSIST, PL/C, WATBOL, WATFIV, Waterloo C, and Waterloo PASCAL. File management systems and report generators include EASYTRIEVE, MARK IV, and PANVALET. IBM's DB2 is being installed as the primary database manage- ment system. TPX allows concurrent interactive sessions from one physical terminal. Other software includes statistical packages (BMDP, SAS, SPSSX, and TROLL), text-formatting programs (IBM DCF and Waterloo SCRIPT, both with spell-checking and formula-formatting capa- bilities), libraries of scientific and mathematical routines (ESSL and IMSL), graphics programs (GDDM, Versatec plotting software, PLOT79, SAS/GRAPH, and SURFACE II), financial speadsheets and modelers (FSCALC, Super- calc, and IFPS), vector facility software, mini- and micro- computer support via file-transfer capabilities, the Phoe- nix computer-based training system, local and IBM utili- ties, and special-purpose languages.

Center for Instructional and Research Computing Activities (CIRCA) The Center for Instructional and Research Computing Activities (CIRCA) provides a variety of computing serv- ices for University of Florida students and faculty. CIRCA provides consulting, documentation, programming and analysis, database design and implementation, statistical analysis, equipment repair, data entry services, open- shop unit-record equipment, interactive terminals, micro- computer laboratories, and remote-batch operations, which are available at several locations across the cam- pus. For instructional purposes, CIRCA operates a Digital Equipment Corporation VAX cluster consisting of one 8600 and two 780 processors. Two standalone VAX 11/ 750 computers are also available. The machines are clustered, communicate via DECNET, and run the VMS operating system. Terminals are connected through a Gandalf port selector and the campus ETHERNET, provid- ing local and remote terminal access to both NERDC and CIRCA computers. Dial-up facilities are also provided. Software includes APL, BASIC, BMDP, CERRITOS graph-' ics, COBOL, FORTRAN, IMSL, MINITAB, PASCAL, SNOBOL, SPICE, TSP, and support for Imlac and GIGI graphics terminals. Students may request free accounts on the CIRCA VAX cluster by applying at the CIRCA offices, E520 Computer Sciences and Engineering Building. Additional informa- tion is available from the CIRCA Consultant in E520A Computer Sciences and Engineering Building, University of Florida, 335-8211. UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES The University of Florida Libraries form the largest information resource system in the state of Florida, and materials are housed in several locations which support broad disciplinary areas. Generally, most of the agricultural, science, and tech- nology holdings will be found in the Marston Science Library and most humanities and social science materials, including business and journalism, will be found in Libraries East and West. However, several separate col- lections have been organized which support particular subject or area studies programs at both the undergradu- ate and graduate levels. Holdings for visual arts, architec- ture, and building construction materials will be found in the Architecture and Fine Arts Library (201 Fine Arts Building A), most education materials in the Education Library (1500 Norman Hall), most Latin America materi- als in the Latin American Collection (fourth floor, Library East), and most music materials in the Music Library (231 Music Building). Two major research libraries, the Health Science Cen- ter Library (JHMHSC Communicore) and the Legal Infor- mation Center (217 Holland Law Center), have been formed primarily to support the graduate and professional programs in the J. Hillis Miller Health Science Center and the College of Law. The Libraries hold over 2,700,000 cataloged volumes, more than 2,300,000 units of microform, maintain more than 29,000 current serials, and roughly 20,000 machine readable data files. The Libraries are a regional depository for U.S. federal documents (Documents, 254 Library West); uncataloged federal documents number over 600,000. There are also large collections of foreign, international, state, and local documents. Most major U.S. daily newspapers, as well as the large collection of Florida newspapers, are available in Library East and West. The Map Library (first level, Marston Science Library) is an extensive repository of maps, atlases, aerial photo- graphs, and remote sensing imagery with particular col- lection strengths for the southeastern United States, Flor- ida, Latin America, and Africa south of the Sahara. A number of nationally significant research resources, primarily in support of graduate programs, have been collected, including the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica (18 Library East), the largest collection of its kind in the Southeast; the Baldwin Library (second .floor, Li- brary East), among the world's greatest collections of literature for children; and the Parkman D. Howe Collec- tion of American Literature (Rare Books and Manuscripts Collection, 531 Library West). The P. K. Yonge Library of
