Kazakh, Lepcha, and Manchu Romanization Tables
The ALA-LC Romanization tables are developed jointly by the Library of Congress (LC) and the American Library Association (ALA). Romanization schemes enable the cataloging of foreign language materials. Romanized cataloging in turn supports circulation, acquisitions, serials check-in, shelflisting, shelving, and reference, particularly in library catalogs that are unable to display non-roman alphabet information.
The ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Asian and African Materials (CC:AAM) recently received and reviewed proposals for new Kazakh (in Arabic script) and Manchu romanization tables, as well as a revision proposal for the Lepcha romanization table. All three tables were approved.
The Kazakh (in Arabic script), Lepcha, and Manchu romanization tables are now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage<http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html> http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html . Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, Policy and Standards Division (bjoh(a)loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov>).

By the early 1900s, New York was becoming a melting pot for immigrants
hailing from different nations. Though many settlers chose Manhattan
as their home, others ventured forward into the borough of Queens.
America itself was named the “land of opportunity,” and Greeks seeking
those opportunities developed the largest Greek community outside of
Athens in Astoria. Through the growth of the Greek community came
Greek Orthodox schools and churches, the earliest in Queens being St.
Demetrios, built in 1927, and Greek-owned businesses, especially
catering halls like Crystal Palace, coffee shops (that now line busy
Astoria streets), and diners. These establishments gave this special
community a place to gather together and secure its standing and
future in New York. Greeks in Queens traces the immigrant journey from
Greece to America and shows how the Greeks—through wars, hard work,
education, and dedication—developed a thriving and much larger
community than their predecessors thought possible.
Author Bio: Christina Rozeas is a graduate of St. John’s University. A
first-generation Greek American, she resides in Queens with her
husband.

RARE BOOK SCHOOL RECEIVES MELLON FOUNDATION GRANT TO FUND FELLOWSHIPS
IN CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY
New fellowship program seeks to reinvigorate bibliographical studies
within the humanities
Charlottesville, VA, October 1, 2012 – Rare Book School (RBS) at the
University of Virginia has been awarded an $896,000 grant from The
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support a new three-year fellowship
program, The Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical
Bibliography, whose aim is to reinvigorate bibliographical studies
within the humanities.
The Mellon Fellowship program will enable a select group of doctoral
candidates, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty in the humanities
to receive advanced, intensive training in the analysis of textual
artifacts. Led by a distinguished faculty drawn from the
bibliographical community and professionals in allied fields, fellows
will attend annual research-oriented seminars at Rare Book School and
at major special collections libraries nationwide. Fellows will
receive stipends to support research-related travel to special
collections, and additional funds to host academic symposia at their
home institutions.
“This grant will enable our School to deepen and extend its service to
the bibliographical community by helping scholars incorporate
bibliographical and book-historical methods into their own research
and teaching,” said RBS Director Michael F. Suarez, S.J. “I am humbled
by the trust that the Foundation has placed in our organization – and
deeply gratified by its ratification of our core mission of
bibliographical education.”
“I expect that these fellowships will sow the seeds for some of the
most exciting work from the next generation of humanistic scholars,”
commented Michael Winship, Professor of English at the University of
Texas at Austin. “This Mellon Foundation grant is wonderful news! It
will ensure that graduate students and early career academics have an
opportunity to be exposed to the theories and methodologies of
bibliographical practice.”
Twenty Mellon Fellowships will be awarded in the spring of 2013. The
deadline for application to the program is December 1, 2012. More

Critical Bibliography is available at:
