Ralf Schellenberger pointed out the HEIDI library catalog at Heidelberg. Since I tried a lot of unsuccessful ways to access the catalog, here is the very easy successful way:
When asked for your login, just type heidi (always use lower case when talking to this catalog) and you skip over the password part. Then choose the VT100 option (2 in the list you are given). Then choose the option “info", you don’t need a Benutzernummer for that one. Then just hit y and you will be zipped to a comprehensible numerical option display, as is typical for online library catalogs. When in doubt, always hit y and you will get another option display that’s easy to follow.
