Romanian (in Cyrillic) Romanization Table Approved
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: Description and Access (CC:DA) recently received and
reviewed a proposal for new Romanian (in Cyrillic) romanization table. The table has
subsequently been approved.
The Romanian (in Cyrillic) romanization table is now available for downloading from the
ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage

Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, Policy and
Standards Division ( bjoh@loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov> ).
