In the first sentence of my suggestion yesterday about nonroman/vernacular
references, what I say about catalogers using RLIN and OCLC to assign
vernacular headings could be understood to say they do so for all languages and
scripts. To clarify: RLIN and OCLC support input, searching and display of
Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic writing systems. RLIN also supports
Hebrew and
Cyrillic scripts. Neither RLIN, OCLC nor MARC yet supports the many other
alphabets found in the ALA/LC romanization tables.
