Suzanne Weiner announced that pople should log on to Emmy and 
try out the new system and to pass along our observations.  
Below are my observations so far.  Thanks for the opportunity
to comment.

	Once timed out, there should be an easy way to return to 
		the screen you were looking at.
	
	At Athena work stations the arrow keys don't seem to work.

	During a complex search, if the "prior screen" option is 
		used, you don't really go back one screen, usually
		it takes you back to the first screen of your 
		search.

	If an author is put in as an "all word" search, no titles
		are given and it is of little use.

	Tried to find TA157.N2775a by call number, but was not 
		findable.  Was findable by title.

	Indexes oddly, when searching by call number, years don't seem
		to follow any order.  
		Searched for T171.M4195
