HI, I only have experience with Mandarin/Oasis and while it has its bugs and it does have costs its one of the few systems that handles languages well. I catalogue in Hebrew with relative ease. I also use Oasis in conjunction with WebClarity Bookware (cataloguing software) and am very happy in the way the two work together to give me French English and Hebrew records. I have a great choice in records and even though I am a high school library I find the choices Bookware/Oasis offers helpful and useful, especially for Judaica. Henie
