abstract: Ann Della Porta, Assistant ILS Coordinator, Library of Congress; David Bucknam, Digital Projects Coordinator, Library of Congress.

Conversion to Unicode at the Library of Congress has enabled improvement in access to non-Roman script materials. This presentation will cover: Library of Congress’ migration of non-Roman script cataloging activities from RLIN to Voyager; Library of Congress’ effort to adapt Gary Strawn's Transliterator application to increase the efficiency of non-Roman script cataloging; metadata policy changes for non-Roman script material; plans for non-Roman script data in LC/NACO authority records; and Library of Congress’ plans to expand beyond JACKPHY and beyond the MARC-8 repertoire to other non-Roman scripts, such as Thai or Armenian.
