    Abstract
    Growth in the number of resources available on the MELVYL system at the Universities of California has necessitated a change to welcome screens offering system choices. Details the menu arrangement developed which is a rudimentary meta-catalogue of databases, divided variously by subject, format, usability, location and alphabetical order

    Abstract
    The first ten years of the MELVYL system have profoundly affected the lives of University of California librarians. The rapid growth of the system's content, complexity, and use has required frequent modifications of its interface. These changes have required the continuous involvement of librarians in advising the system's designers on new features and new databases, in instructing users, and in observing user behavior. This article traces, from a librarian's perspective, the evolution of the system from its origins as a poweful prototype online catalog to its present role as a complex of multiple databases, services, and resources. The article's primary focus is on ways in which the growth, refinement, and development of the system have entailed adaptive design, flexible instruction, and user tolerance for change
