<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For those loading data they could make sure the
leader has the correct value (shown below). For those with existing bib
database you could export the data, use (eg) MarcEdit to turn into
human-readable, edit the leader (as below), re-convert to MARC (MarcEdit) and
match on the bib number (999$c I think - check first). If course be careful not
to duplicate your items with the load.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Good luck.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Koha] Problem adding book
with non ascii characters in title</DIV>Hello,<BR>I have the same problem when
trying to save records with cyrillic, Japanese, or other characters. The
only way I've found to fix this is to click on the "..." next to the 000
Leader field and on "9 - Character coding scheme" select "a - UCS/Unicode"
from the dropdown menu. This allows me to save the record. I
wanted to hide this field from our users in our custom framework, but if I do
they won't be able to save records containing certain characters. Does
someone know how to make it always be UCS/Unicode for all
records?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Melisa<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
