    (New for May 2025)The AZ DB and Journal Search Configuration page (Configuration > Discovery > Other > AZ DB and Journal Search Configuration) enables you to add an AZ List to the Database and Journal Search pages. When configured, users can search for journal and database titles by selecting a specific character or a group of digits (0-9). 

    Although this functionality is disabled by default, the characters for the following languages are configured for you if activated. You may remove, add, or change specific characters:

    • English - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z

    • Hebrew - א,ב,ג,ד,ה,ו,ז,ח,ט,י,כ,ל,מ,נ,ס,ע,פ,צ,ק,ר,ש,ת

    • Norwegian - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,'Æ', 'Ø','Å'

    In addition, you can configure the characters as needed for other languages activated on the Institution Languages page (Configuration > General > General Configuration > Institution Languages).
