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 .
