Description: Romanization Tables are jointly maintained by the American Library 
Association and the Library of Congress. The Review Board, formed in May 2021, 
is charged with appointing Review Subcommittees to conduct the review and 
approval of new and updated romanization proposals. In spring 2023, the ALA-LC 
Romanization Table Review Board approved the newly created romanization table 
for ADLaM, a script developed in the late 1980s for a group of Fulani languages 
spoken chiefly in West Africa. The table was independently created by Africana 
cataloger Charles Riley of Yale University over several years in response to 
the marked increase in publications in ADLaM script. The program will highlight 
the development of the ADLaM Romanization table with active engagement of the 
script user community. The new table covers several areas of development 
including: the display of Unicode code points to clarify the identification of 
the characters in the table, the test of character input in the Bibframe Editor 
MARVA, and the creation and integration of a bi-directional transliteration 
tool into the ScriptShifter, an application to facilitate input of non-Latin 
scripts. This process underscores the critical role played by technology to 
streamline the workflow of romanization and improve bibliographic accuracy and 
discoverability of non-Latin script material. The presentation will conclude 
with a future look at the potential of technological integration and the role 
of the Review Board.
