Subject: [nonenglishaccess] Romanization in bibliographic records: draft report
To: nonenglishacc...@ala.org


Colleagues,

Please forgive duplication and forward this announcement as appropriate.

The ALCTS Non-English Access Working Group on Romanization invites
comment on its draft report, posted at:

http://connect.ala.org/node/88651

The Working Group was established by the ALCTS Non-English Access
Steering Committee to examine the current use of romanized data in
bibliographic and authority records and to recommend whether
romanization is still needed in bibliographic records.  This draft
report was developed by the Working Group in collaboration with the
members of its open discussion forum on ALA Connect.

The Working Group will submit its final report to the Steering
Committee on Dec. 15, 2009.  Comments are requested by Tuesday, Dec.
8, 2009 and may be sent to rr2...@columbia.edu.

Thank you,

Robert Rendall
Chair, ALCTS Non-English Access Working Group on Romanization

Geographic subdivision "... Region"

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Question: Is it Kosher to add  "Region" to any geographic place name?
For example: I have a book that deals with military camps around Beer Sheva.
Can I use "Bersheba Region (Israel)"? Do I need to establish the heading in
the Subject Authority File?

Subject heading: Orthodox Jews

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Question: Is there a reason that there is no Subject heading for
Orthodox Jews or Secular Jews, but there is one for Ultra-Orthodox
Jews (Haredim)

BRSLV ברסלב

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

I know Joan will love my next question :-)

What is the correct romanization of BRSLV ברסלב

Is it Braslav
or Breslav
or Breslev
or something else


all forms found in the OCLC data-base

In LC:
Braslav - 104 times
Breslev - 190 times
Breslav - 137 times

In the Encyclopaedia Judaica (1972) there is a small town in Belarus
called Braslav (in Polish: Braslaw) - but they do not mention the
Hassidic sect - so I am not sure that this is the source.

Re: BRSLV ברסלב

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Well, I personally would go with Braslav (I had an unvocalized serial in
hand and I could not find it because I was looking under Braslav. It also
did not have the Hebrew script title in the record (LCCN 2001-208266).

We also have the subject heading Bratslav Hasidim  (sh 85016498) and
Bratslav (Ukraine) with x-ref. from Breslav (Ukraine) - [no x-ref. from
Breslev)

I don't know if in Yiddish it appears as ברעסלעב or בראסלאב or ברעסלאב or
just ברסלב

Oman ha-sipur ha-katsar

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Please notice,
The latest book by Maya Arad
אמן הסיפור הקצר
should be transcribed as Oman ha-sipur   and not Aman ha-sipur 

(I will add a 246 for Aman)

See Even-Shoshan 2003 Dictionary.

Dos in Yiddish as a pronoun

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

I have this title:
דאָס איז געווען דער אָנהייב

As my Yiddish/German knowledge goes - I don't think that דאָס is an
article and that it should not be ignored. Am I correct?

Is it really in Russian

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

I have in hand Yizkor book for Drahichyn (Belarus) in Yiddish and
found OCLC record number 79830682  with Russian script. Can someone

There are also the following records in OCLC: 8746971  79833229  and 221957418

Re: Romanization guidelines

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Colleagues,

Joan asked me to forward the following to Heb-Naco

This document is intended for people creating new romanization tables
or making changes (probably only really sweeping changes, too) to
existing romanization tables.  It's not intended to describe any
existing romanization tables (certainly not the Hebrew or Yiddish
ones!).

Re: how romanize שלומיק?

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

I am still convinced that the name should be Shelomik (and not
Shlomik) - it is a nickname for Shelomoh.
and Yes it should be Hedvah u-Shelomik

Re: where to class?

Cliff,
The problem is that G. Scholem disputes the authorship of Moses ben
Shem Tov di Leon and he attributes to another Mosheh.

To Be or Not 2 B

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Question regarding Shakespeare:
In Hebrew there are several ways to transcribe Shakespeare:

שקספיר
שייקספיר
שיקספיר
שעקספיר
שכספיר
שייכספיר

Usually we romanize his name to:  Shekspir

How would you romanize שייקספיר? Will it be Shaikspir?

Re: Bibliyoteḳa ʻIvrit

[Joseph Galron-Goldschlaeger]

Jackie
I would catalog each bibliographic item by itself and use a LOCAL "Bound
with:" note (not 501 but 590).
The reason for the local field is that every library has different bound
volumes of Bibliyoteka Ivrit. I believe that originally those booklets were
printed as separate booklets and later they were bound or reprinted to form
the volume you have in hand.
I know - it is a lot of work ...
