What are we losing? Description: BIBFRAME experimentation at the Library of Congress has challenged us to evaluate many existing cataloging practices. Are those practices valid in our changing environment? Are those practices simply entrenched and in place because of cataloging "inertia?" Romanization of cataloging data is a long-standing cataloging practice that is being reevaluated in the LC BIBFRAME Pilots. What will we gain, and what will we lose if we change our current romanization practices? * Q&A, open discussion Thank you!
