Our largest user group is undergraduate students, but of course we have 
substantial numbers of graduate students, faculty, and staff users as well.

At UC Berkeley, the telnet version is still linked from the web site since 
it performs some significant functions not yet available in the web version 
(inventories of items checked out, renewals, course reserves searches).
