You will need a web browser (Internet Explorer 5.x or higher; Netscape 6.2 or higher) configured to support Unicode-based characters. Windows users will need Windows 95 or higher (Windows 2000 is recommended) with appropriate Global IMEs (input method editors) installed.

Can I viw/input CJK characters from computers in the library?
Ask a reference librarian about the availability of CJK-capable computer workstations in the library. While some library workstations run on Windows 2000, many more run on Windows NT.

Users accustomed to Global IME on Windows 2000 or XP may see differences in how searches are input when in NT.
