internet access of law catalogs

Here are a couple of questions for you internet buffs:

1. We have a copy of the Internet Library Catalog dial-in numbers (the Art St.
George publication) dated January 1992. Is there a more current/updated ver-
sion available yet? If so, where can we find it?

2. Has anyone anywhere ever extracted a list of law libraries from this
catalog, or compiled another list of internet dial-in accessible law library
catalogs (including the one's where the law library doesn't have its own
catalog but shares the main library catalog)? I recently consulted the
Inetmenu listings, but found them to contain few law library catalogs.

We find it useful to dial into other people's catalogs to locate correct
titles, or find OCLC numbers for ILL purposes, or just out of curiosity to see
what other libraries own. I know some libraries don't want other people dialing
into their systems, or don't have the technology for it, but I woulld like to
compile a more complete list of law libraries whose catalogs are accessible.

If your catalog is accessible over the internet, but isn't included in the
St. George catalog, would you please send me the "address" and dial in
instructions, I will compile a list and share it with everyone if I get any
response. Hope to hear from many of you soon,
