Tackling the Foreign-language Backlog - Preliminary Edition (Pdf)

This book is for the cataloger who has publications in a language that is not his or her native language or a well-known second language, and doesn’t know where or how to start to catalog the work. The book’s first section is on cataloging books in a Roman script, which is not always as easy as it seems. The bulk of the book presents methods of tackling non-Roman-script languages. Although these may seem impossible to decipher at first, the book presents methods of working with scripts that are not well known or unknown to the cataloger. This is the PDF version (free to download) of the book available for sale at http://www.lulu.com/shop/paperback/product-24262922.html. Several landscape pages in the document are oriented so that they can be read when the file is viewed on a computer. If you print some of these pages, you will want to set the orientation to “auto portrait/landscape.” ISBN 978-1-7340694-1-9
