Hello, if you are using tomcat check the encoding setting for the connector in server.xml
See chapter 3.2.6. Servlet Engine: (Jakarta Tomcat 4.x, Jetty, Caucho Resin or equivalent) of the 1.6.1 system documentation http://www.dspace.org/1_6_1Documentation/DSpace-Manual.pdf "Modifications in /[tomcat]/conf/server.xml : You also need to alter Tomcat's default configuration to support searching and browsing of multi-byte UTF-8 correctly. You need to add a configuration option to the <Connector> element in [tomcat]/config/server.xml: URIEncoding="UTF-8" e.g. if you're using the default Tomcat config, it should read: <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/> " Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Am 18.02.2011 15:28, schrieb Ramsden, Annette: > Dear all > > We are operating D-Space 1.6.1.
