Add NSB/NSE Characters Helper

The Add NSB/NSE Characters helper allows you to add and view the NSB (Non-Sorting Begin) and NSE (Non-Sorting End) characters in bibliographic and authority records using the WorkFlows Java client cataloging and authority wizards. Because these characters are only used in UNIMARC formats, the helper is only available on SirsiDynix Symphony Unicode systems. The NSB/NSE are non-printable characters and will not display in full record displays or cataloging and authority wizard View panes. They also will not display when printing with File\Print Preview and File\Print Screen Menu commands, nor when using the Bibliographic Description helper.

To add an NSB/NSE character

1

In the MARC editor, place the cursor where the non-sorting character should be inserted.

2

Select either NSB Non-sorting Begin or NSE Non-sorting End from the drop-down list that displays next to the Add NSB/NSE Character helper.

3

Click the Add NSB/NSE Character icon. The non-sorting character will appear in red in the cataloging template (or authority template).

4

To delete a non-sorting character, place the cursor before the character (which displays in red) and press Delete, or backspace over the character.
