Our OPAC now has Hebrew display ability, and, for those with Hebrew font
enabled computers, searching is also possible. I'm working on having
all the patron access computers loaded with Hebrew type.
Thanks, Jasmin

Jasmin and Heb-NACOers,
We at UCLA have not yet migrated to Connexion 1.4 but will soon. You
need to determine how/whether Hebrew (Greek and Cyrillic too for that
matter) will display in your local ILS. Is University of Maryland
part of a consortium that has its own system? If so, you need to
determine whether Hebrew will display there as well.
If local systems or a consortium are not part of the equation and you
just would like to add Hebrew scripts to OCLC, you'll need to check
with your policy makers at University of Maryland. They may not want
you to be devoting the extra time it would take to do this.

Hello fellow catalogers,
Here at Maryland we've just migrated to Connexion 1.4. Now having the
ability to input Hebrew, I'm faced with the decision of whether to add
Hebrew to all records that lack the vernacular, or only to original
records I contribute. What are you other catalogers doing?
If you're an RLIN user, when Hebrew became available, did your library
start adding Hebrew to all records, or only to new records you were
submitting?
Thank you for your time and help, Jasmin
