<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Currently I work on OCLC and export to Sirsi, but when I was at UMD we had Aleph. I think Aleph manages Hebrew better than Sirsi but I would never catalog Hebrew
records into it. It feels clunky and hard to read, starting by the fact that the parallel fields do not appear in parallel but divided by alphabet. To make things more complicated, Aleph feels like a dark box: it is easy to send things to it from Connexion,
but exporting from Aleph, like producing reports, is a nightmare. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
