(1) TELNET INITIAL COMMAND: “open library.deakin.edu.au”
Outcome:
I was prompted at the search screen to type the letter for the record I was seeking.
After requesting author, the next screen prompted me to place the author’s name in “Bennahum”, which brought me up 2 entries.
Typing in “1″ brought me the record of David A Bennahum and (2) Ninotchka Bennahum.
I proceeded to then obtain the record for both authors.
I then selected to print the record, and was prompted to provide my email address.
The record was then sent to my university address.
I then followed the same procedure for the next record.
I was emailed both records which I found to be very long with a lot of unnecessary information contained within the record
Thoughts:
My overall impression of obtaining library records in this manner was that th is process was very time consuming in regards to the number of screens utilised to obtain 2 records. This method is in my opinion very outdated and library searches online are more expedient
(2) TELNET COMMAND: “open towel.blinkenlights.nl”
Thoughts:
While I found this application to be unique, I am still uinimpressed with Telnet as a communications tool. The animation took a long time to load through each screen, however, for Telnet’s limitations, it was put together well
(3) FTP: recall.curtin.edu.au
Outcome:
I utilised the FTP program CuteFTP Version 8.0 to do this task
commands recall.curtin.edu.
username anonymous
password anonymous
Once connected, two directories were shown:MSC and ROB
After clicking on the MSC directory, I found the “readme.txt” file and downloaded it.
After opening, and reading this document, I found the missing word to be
“CAPITALIZATION MATTERS”
Thoughts:
I find this particular FTP program very easy to use and connection time is fast.
