Dear colleagues, Rhea Lesage and I had a number of communications with Library of Congress staff last week. To sum up where things stand now: * The comment period has been extended to June 2010. * Barbara Tillett, Chief, Policy and Standards Division at the Library of Congress, would like to resolve as much as possible by e-mail with interested parties. * Failing that, she is in favor of discussing possible solutions during the ALA/ALCTS/CCS/CC:DA committee meeting on Saturday (6/26) and/or Monday (6/28) morning, if we decide a meeting is necessary (ALA annual is in Washington, DC this June). * She shared with us ALA/ALCTS/CCS/CC:DA's decision based on the task-force recommendations. Briefly: to eliminate all diacritics for post-1454 modern-Greek including rough breathing but only if LC works with large collections to convert records and if resources are available to make conversion possible. * Meanwhile, LC catalogers were instructed on March 31 to resume work with the older tables, and they are tracking all records created since Dec 2009 in case changes must be made. I will forward a few of the relevant e-mails to the list shortly.

Οι Αμερικανικές βιβλιοθήκες μέχρι τούδε ακολουθούν τα μεταφραστικά πρότυπα για την μετάφραση μη Λατινικών κειμένων, τα οποία ετέθησαν από την Ένωση Αμερικανικών Βιβλιοθηκών και την Βιβλιοθήκη του Κογκρέσου. Τον Δεκέμβριο του 2009, χωρίς καμιά προειδοποίηση ή επικοινωνία η Βιβλιοθήκη του Κογκρέσου αποφάσισε να προβεί σε σημαντικές αλλαγές, θέλοντας να ακολουθήσει το μονοτονικό σύστημα της Ελλάδας του 1982. Μεταξύ άλλων, αυτές οι αλλαγές σημαίνουν πως αν π.χ.κάποιος ψάχνει την λέξη "history", από δω και πέρα θα πρέπει να ψάχνει παράλληλα και την λέξη "istory" καθώς το γράμμα "h" δεν θα χρησιμοποιείται πλέον σε κείμενα που μεταφράζουν νέα ελληνικά τα οποία είναι γραμμένα στο μονοτονικό. Μελετητές των Κλασικών, Πατερικών, Βυζαντινών και Νέων Ελληνικών αντιδρούν μαζεύοντας υπογραφές. Βλ. σχετικό κείμενο στο (http://ancientworldbloggers.blogspot.com/2010/03/petition-re-changes-in-cl-…). ******************************************** See all Romiosyni-L threads on: http://www.euratlas.net/cgi-bin/romiosyni_archive.pl You can unsubscribe from here: http://www.euratlas.com/Romiosyni-L/
