Dear Safranim Are there any guidelines for cataloguing materials in Judaeo-German (ie German in Hebrew characters)? In particular, which MARC language code do you use? Do you Romanize as if it were Yiddish? What about Hebrew words? The particular work I'm cataloguing at the moment is Frenk's Mahaneh Yisra'el (National Library of Israel catalogue system no 2157265).
I tried a search of Cataloger's Desktop and came up with various discussion from the AJL R&S Cataloging Committee, but nothing definitive.
