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.

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!
