Hi,
My name is Nanette Stoll and I am a library technician for Vaughan Public
Libraries in Thornhill, Ontario Canada.  This summer my library put me in
charge of cataloging their collection of Hebraica.  I am aware that the
Library of Congress has suggested the use of symbols for the letter aleph
and ayin.  I do not have the suggested symbols on my keyboard.  I have
been using an apostrophe to represent aleph and what appears to be an
accent grave (extreme upper left of the keyboard under the tilde) for
ayin.  Do you have any other recommendations.  I would be very
appreciative of some guidance on this subject.  I have read Paul Maher's
book Cataloging Hebraica but he uses symbols that nobody including the
Library of Congress uses.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Nanette Stoll
