I think the reference is to an OCLC symbol. For instance, our symbol is FLT. I 
know of one library that is AV@ and we had to put the symbol into Ariel as just 
AV, as Ariel would not accept the @ symbol.

If you have a Bookeye or something like that with OCR, I'm thinking that maybe 
the software could be trained by the vendor to ignore the @ symbol, 
specifically in the Borrower field. Or is there a way to somehow have the OCR 
link to the correct Ariel address via the IP instead?

We can no longer transmit via Ariel (only receive), so I haven't had to deal 
with that end in a while. We did recently get a Bookeye, so it will be 
interesting to see how seamlessly the OCR works once we set it up.

Good luck,

That happened to us once - it turned out their address was their email address, 
- ?

Subject: [ARIE-L] Special characters in OCLC symbol like @

Currently Ariel does not allow the @ symbol to be used in an Address Book 
entry. However, one of our most frequent borrowers has that character. We have 
a scanner with OCR that puts the @ into the Borrower field, but we have to 
change the symbol entry every time.

Is there any setting we can change in Ariel that will allow the @ sign?

We have
Windows XP SP3
Ariel 4.1.1.99

Thank you!
