Abstract:
The collections of Anglo-American public and research libraries have long included
works in nonroman scripts for use of immigrants literate in such scripts and students
of areas that use such scripts. In part 1 of AACR2 (1.0E) the descriptive elements are
transcribed wherever practicable in the script in which it appears in the item itself. But
in part 2 headings are always given in romanized form. The following proposed changes would allow vernacular headings as optional
additional access points.
