----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Searching the LC catalogs using their new LC Z39.50 gateway, "Voyager", I noticed two disappointing features, and I'll quote from LC's "limitations" statement: 1) "Diacritics and many special characters are not encoded correctly". 2) "It is not possible to search the LC authority files". Am I missing something here, or have they taken two giant steps backward for mankind (taking our tax money with them) -- the gateway previously supported (MUMS, which apparently will disappear in December), supported both these features. If I haven't somehow missed discussion on this previously, is this something the Cataloging Advisory Committee of ARLIS would be interested in pursuing?
