He says it's experimental, so maybe we should ask before we put a link
to it in the SIPB home page, but I think this is one of the better
arguments for the web around.

:>
:> The LCS/AI Reading Room has put up an experimental World Wide Web server,
:> reachable at reading-room-www.lcs.mit.edu (port 80, as is customary).
:> This server contains information about
:> - the reading room; its holdings, services, etc.
:> - relevant online resources
:> - lcs and ai publications
:> This server is still experimental, and in a state of flux.
:> Comments, thougts, suggestions, etc, encouraged.
:>
:> Getting access:
:> World Wide Web is a distributed information system like WAIS and Gopher.
:> You need a World Wide Web client in order to use the reading room server.
:> In the AI Lab, the X Windows client xmosaic is available,
:> and is known to work well with MacX 1.2 .
:> In LCS, you may have to obtain a client yourself.
:> The X Windows client xmosaic is available for anonymous ftp
:> from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /Web/xmosaic. Ready-to-run binaries are
:> available there for sun, decmips, alpha, and hp.
:> A Mac client is available for anonymous ftp from info.cern.ch in
:> /pub/www/bin/mac. (Though atleast one person has found it flakey.)
:>
:> In xmosaic, to use the reading room server one can
:> - Click on the "Open" button found at the bottom of xmosaic.
:> - Type in the URL http://reading-room-www.lcs.mit.edu/
:> - Having arrived at the reading room server, you can make it easier
:> to reach in future by adding it to your "hot list".
:> This is done in the pull down menu "Navigate" at the top of xmosaic.
:>
:> Experimentally,
:> Mitchell
