Hi Joel, This seems like a good overview: http://www.starr.net/is/type/kbh.html If I enable the language bar in Windows and choose the International Keyboard as default, I can enter characters like á©ðéíøµñóöä®ßþúåüæ just by holding down the right+alt key as I type. Á¢ÐÉÍØÇÓÓħÞÚÅÜÆ with right+alt and right+shift. Non-romanized languages are also possible. > Q2.

You can create MARC templates, but there is no GUI for this. Letting the system know which subfields and indicators are available for your custom tags (for context menus in the MARC editor) is more difficult, but also doable. Creating or augmenting indexes to use your custom fields is also possible, though there is no GUI for it yet. Let us know what you're looking for exactly and we can dig up some documentation or describe the process. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference!
