The National Library of Israel Name Authority File (NNL10) is now accessible to other libraries for searching and copying of records. Instructions on how to connect to NNL10 follow this introductory information.
The NNL10 file currently contains about 267,000 name authority records for persons, corporate bodies and uniform title headings. It does not contain records for series or subject headings. Records are in four scripts: Latin (approx. 179,000 records), Hebrew (66,000 records), Arabic (10,000 records) and Cyrillic (12,000 records). As with most older Israeli catalogs, many of the records were originally created in pre-MARC format, and often in upper case. Automated conversions and upgrades over the years have improved this data greatly, but not all records have been individually checked for coding accuracy yet. This is an ongoing process and user input is welcome. Romanized Hebrew headings are created according to Academy of the Hebrew Language Romanization rules. Cyrillic script headings are entirely upper case. The network version of NNL10 is a copy of the real file of the National Library. It is brought up to date with the real file every weekend. The Library welcomes corrections, comments and questions regarding NNL10 headings.
