First, some Russian sounds do not occur naturally in English. Second, Russian letters may change their pronunciation depending on their position in a word and, especially, on the place of stress. A transliteration system, such as the Library of Congress one, maintains a consistent correspondence between Russian and Latin letters , irrespective of sound.

The testing work has begun, using a collection of digital materials covering the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, she said. After selecting an architecture, the library will work with technical experts from NASA and other labs to develop a working prototype, Campbell said.

Guides to Info. Resources Using Library of Congress Subject Headings Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are a part of the Library of Congress Classification, a system of grouping books with similar topics. Subject headings are those words assigned to books that describe what the book is about. You can use the Library of Congress Subject Headings to help choose appropriate words or subject headings to search in the Online Catalog , and other electronic databases Suppose that you are writing a paper about sports. Look up "sports" in the Library of Congress Subject Headings books, located by any UM library information desk. You will see this: Sports (May Subd Geog) UF Field sports Pastimes Recreations BT Recreation RT Athletics Games Outdoor life Physical education and training SA subdivision Sports under military services, e.g., United States. Army Sports; and under ethnic groups NA Aeronautical sports Age and sports Aquatic sports Ball games [etc...] Translation: "May Subd Geog" (next to the word "Sports") stands for "may be subdivided geographically." In other words, it might be possible to search specifically for aquatic sports in California, for example. This subject search could be done in the Catalog by keying in the terms "aquatic sports California."

The Library of Congress Exhibitions HOME Exhibition Sections: Introduction The Vatican Library Archaeology Humanism ... Credits HUMANISM The great intellectual movement of Renaissance Italy was humanism. The humanists believed that the Greek and Latin classics contained both all the lessons one needed to lead a moral and effective life and the best models for a powerful Latin style. They developed a new, rigorous kind of classical scholarship, with which they corrected and tried to understand the works of the Greeks and Romans, which seemed so vital to them. Seeking the Wisdom of the Ancients Scholarship Challenges Tradition Linguistic Correctness Confronting the Original Texts Seeking the Wisdom of the Ancients Costanzo Felici, Historia de coniuratione Catilinae (History of the Catilinarian Conspiracy) In Latin Dedication copy for Leo X Early sixteenth century Pius II (Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini), Commentaries In Latin Autograph Fifteenth century Although humanists had thronged the papal court since the beginning of the century, Pius II was the first real humanist to sit in the chair of Peter. Born in Siena as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, he acquired a reputation as a diplomat, belletrist, and womanizer, and was crowned poet laureate by the Emperor Frederick in 1442. After serving the emperor and the anti-Roman Council of Basel, Piccolomini joined the Roman camp in 1446. He became a cardinal in 1456 and in 1458 was elected pope. As pope, the only work of scholarship he was able to continue was his "Commentaries," a remarkably frank autobiography in which he put his passions and prejudices on full view. In the passage shown here, Pius expresses his bitter contempt for the French, who had been unwilling to join his crusade against the Great Turk.

QUIZ Yourself on LC Call Number Order What Is a Call Number? In libraries the world over, call numbers serve more than one purpose: A unique identification number Each book (or other item) has its own unique call number which is taped to the lower outside edge of the book's spine. The call number is also written or taped inside the book, usually on the reverse side (verso) of the title page. A miniature subject formula Books written about the same subject have similar call numbers, which groups them together on the shelf, making it easier for you to browse the library's holdings on a specific topic.

The Application Of Form Data To Works Of Fiction: Discussion Paper This paper reviews the application of form and genre headings from the Library of Congress Subject Headings to works of fiction.

The Application of Form Data to Works of Fiction: Discussion Paper by the British Library Fiction Indexing Group [Andrew MacEwan; Sue Lambert; Lesley Firth; Peter Morriss] 1. Introduction This paper reviews the application of form and genre headings from the Library of Congress Subject Headings to works of fiction. The purpose of this study is to highlight the issues arising from the planned implementation of the new 655 field and $v subfield for form data on the LCSH file in the specific context of one major literary genre. There are two reasons for choosing fiction as an ideal case study for looking at implementation issues for literature:- a) Use of the 655 field for individual works of fiction is already well-established through the OCLC/LC Fiction Project b) At the British Library we have gained some experience of using the 655 field through our application of the Guidelines on Subject Access to Works of Fiction, Drama, etc . used by the OCLC/LC project. This experience has generated a number of unresolved questions concerning the relationship between LCSH and GSAFD which are the stimulus for writing this paper.
