Warning: Non-Latin alphabet characters not displaying properly!

I have just noticed that the non-Latin alphabet (Unicode) characters are not displaying properly on the server.  Apparently, browsers are not properly detecting the character encoding.

You can fix this by manually setting the character encoding to UTF-8.  Unfortunately, you seem to have to do this for every page you view.

In most browsers, this setting is on the View menu.

I hope that this is a temporary problem.

John Locke Resources: new site organization

A new site organization for the John Locke Bibliography and related sites launched on February 10, 2009.

When you connect to the John Locke Bibliography using the normal URL —
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/tas/locke/index.html
you will see a new gateway page, which provides links to the John Locke Bibliography, the John Locke Chronology, and the John Locke Manuscripts, as well as to related Locke sites such as the Digital Locke Project and the Locke Studies home page.  I welcome suggestions for other sites to include on this page.

On each of the sites, you will begin to see some design changes, which I hope will make the pages easier and more pleasant to read.
