               COMMENTS INVITED ON NATIONAL ARCHIVES'
             NARA ARCHIVAL INFORMATION LOCATOR (NAIL).
                <http://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html>

Subject:      NARA Archival Information Locator (NAIL) Evaluation



As part of its Electronic Access Project, the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA) is constructing a nationwide, integrated
online information delivery system. 

The project, a priority under the agency's Stategic Plan, will
eventually result in a virtual card catalog of all NARA holdings
nationwide, including those in the Presidential libraries and regional
archives.  In addition, copies of some of NARA's most popular and
significant manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings, maps, drawings
and other documents will be digitized and available for researchers to
view online through the catalog. 

To complete the final functional requirements for the catalog, NARA is
undertaking an evaluation of its prototype, the NARA Archival
Information Locator (NAIL).  Everyone is invited to use NAIL and to
comment on its ease of use, functionality, and terminology. 

NAIL can be accessed on the World Wide Web at
http://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html.  Comments can be sent through the
online comments link or by e-mail to <nail.mailbox@arch2.nara.gov>. 
Comments should be received by January 31, 1998. 

Thank you.
