I can suggest a couple of places to go.  Since the new MiamiLINK system is
based on World Wide Web, the instructions involve connecting to the
Library in some respect.
 
If you telnet to MiamiLINK, on the second page there is a choice labeled
"About MiamiLINK".  The first hot-spot link on that page is "World Wide Web",
which will take you to a description of the project, software packages and
other tidbits about WWW.  This page is located in CERN.  More information
can be found in MiamiLINK if you hit the "?" key and look at the
"Help on HTML", "HTML Quick Reference Guide", and "Help on URL's" pages.
Most of this information points to the WWW/Mosaic development at NCSA in
Illinois.
 
If you are at a place with a WWW viewer such as Mosaic, the URL to get
to the MiamiLINK system is:   http://www.lib.muohio.edu/
(simple enough, eh).
 
Rob Pickering also has some good information on his server.  The URL to
get to him is:   http://pheonix.aps.muohio.edu/
There isn't an easy way to get to him from MiamiLINK (yet, that should
change in the early summer).  If you are on OCEAN, you can preceed the
above URL with the command "LYNX" to get to his page.
 
Hope this helps you get started...
