Q1. Where will LC’s nonroman catalog records be created and maintained after RLIN 21 goes away?
A1. LC will migrate the cataloging of monographs from RLIN 21 to LC’s local catalog (the Voyager system from Ex Libris) in late August, 2007. LC’s nonroman catalogers will also be using an “add on†tool compatible with Voyager developed by Gary Strawn (Northwestern University) and David Bucknum (Library of Congress) that provides a cataloger-friendly interface for pairing regular MARC fields with their 880 field counterparts, as well as providing transliterations between roman and nonroman forms for some languages and scripts. Nonroman serials and integrating resources will continue to be cataloged as part of the CONSER program on OCLC.
