[ha-Safran] Extension of deadline to complete surveys on digital technology and Jewish Studies

[Heidi G Lerner]

Dear colleagues, 
Many thanks to all of you who have already taken the time to fill out and 
return your responses to the two surveys on digital technology and Jewish 
Studies that I recently disseminated. I have extended the deadline for 
responding to Friday May, 8 in the hopes that more of you will also fill out 
the surveys (see links below). 


I am certain that the information that is revealed through the surveys will be 
of use to all of you in seeing what kinds of digital projects and tools are out 
there, and being used or developed by faculty, researchers, students, and 
cultural and information professionals working in Jewish Studies. Ideally we 
will learn how our own teaching, researching, and curating Jewish intellectual 
and cultural output can be created and enhanced. 



Thank you, Heidi Lerner

[ha-Safran] Tibetan Romanization Table Revision Approved

[Johnson, Bruce]

Tibetan Romanization Table Revision 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: Asian and African Materials (CC:AAM)  
recently received and reviewed a proposal to revise the Tibetan romanization 
table. The revised table has subsequently been approved.

The updated Tibetan 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 ( b...@loc.gov ).
