Galloway and Gabrielle V. Michalek, The Heinz Electronic Library Interactive On-line System (HELIOS): An Update In February 1994 Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Libraries embarked on an ambitious project to convert approximately one million pages of the congressional papers of Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz into digital format. Innovative image-management and text-retrieval software created at CMU provides the ability to search and retrieve these papers. Named in memory of the late Senator, the Heinz Electronic Library Interactive On-line System (HELIOS) currently allows researchers to browse, search, view, and print over 434,000 digital images from the collection. Now accessible through the Internet, HELIOS dramatically increases depth of indexing and quality of retrieval beyond that which archiving resources have traditionally allowed. This updated version of a previous Public-Access Computer Systems Review paper provides a look at the project three years later. o HTML file World Wide Web: o ASCII file World Wide Web: + Page 2 + COLUMNS Casting the Net Priscilla Caplan, DOI or Don't We?
