Hello all,

This is a grand achievement for OCLC!

I looked at the Hebrew records.  Can we expect that
they'll attempt to have the Hebrew fields input from
the right, or will they stay left-oriented?  (meaning,
the information is still input left to right though
the words are read right to left.)

Also (and this could be part of the above issue),
punctuation intended to come at the beginning or end
of a word is pushed to the end of the phrase or the
end of the line; see #60756822, e.g. field 730:
televizyah tokhnit) ha-esh amud) [the parentheses
misplaced in Hebrew script field] or field 505,
bracket at end of line when intended to come before
the first word.
