As the world becomes smaller and user populations grow ever more
diverse, the seemingly intractable problems associated with
multilingual and multi-script electronic bibliographies are
increasingly relevant to all sectors of the library community.
Beyond the substantial technical issues, automation presents
challenges of an administrative, professional, and human nature.
This series of reports discusses the progress made and issues
involved within a variety of language and political systems: the
rocky beginnings of bibliographic automation in Turkey ... the
challenges presented by data written in Arabic script ... the
creation and maintenance of catalogues including different
languages and character sets ... a case study of a major Russian
research library's efforts to automate its multilingual catalogue
... and the viability of an international standard, derived from
Unicode, that could cover all scripts. They reveal common elements
which may be fruitfully addressed by joint international effort and
will act as a sourcebook of ideas and action. (IFLA Publication,
Vol. 85)
