Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian Romanization Tables 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 proposals for revised Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian romanization tables. The
tables have subsequently been approved.
The Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian romanization tables are now available for
downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables
webpage.<http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html>ml>.
