Greetings,
We have a collection in Internet Archive that we are happy to see has been automatically imported into Open Library. I've noticed that some titles (not ours) in Open Library have alternate scripts available in the titles. Ours however do not, even though there is such a field on the Internet Archive side. We're wondering how we can get the alternate script titles to show up in the entrees and be searchable in Open Library. Any suggestions of how I can correct this? On a related note, I'm not seeing the author field filled in on a lot of our entries in Open Library. Maybe this is something I can correct at the same time. Note how if I search for the common Hebrew word "sefer" with Hebrew characters I get responses back showing the title in Hebrew as well as transliterated into roman characters. This is the correct behavior. Upon clicking the entree it is evident that the Hebrew field is separate from the transliterated title because it's not even visible on the page. https://openlibrary.org/search?q=%D7%A1%D7%A4%D7%A8 However if I search for words from one of our titles, in Hebrew characters, the system returns zero results. https://openlibrary.org/search?q=%D7%92%D7%A2%D7%96%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%A2%D7%9C%D7%98%D7%A2+%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%98%D7%A2%D7%9F This is what we'd like to correct. Transliterated, the search term works: https://openlibrary.org/search?q=Gezamel%E1%B9%ADe+shrif%E1%B9%ADen I see our identifier nybc205988, and our title page with our name on it "Yiddish Book Center," so I'm sure our material is in the database.
