Dear Colleagues,
I highly recommend that when we discuss this topic, we use Joan's excellent
examples document/discussion paper as a guide.
Joan didn't mention in her messages, but LC's Hebraica cataloging staff devoted

I see from the early responses to my guidelines document that there's a basic
principle the document doesn't discuss.
We're not (yet) creating nonroman HEADINGS. In the LC/NACO Authority File,
there will be, for the foreseeable future, no 1XX that is not in roman script.
What we'll begin to
