Azerbaijani Romanization Table Revision approved
11/28/2017
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 a proposal to revise the Azerbaijani romanization table. The revised table
has subsequently been approved.
The updated Azerbaijani romanization table is now available for downloading from the
ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html .
Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, LC Policy and
Standards Division (bjoh@loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov> ).
