The OSU Libraries Cataloging Department adopts the LC Cutter Table for translations. However, only a limited number of Western languages are being listed on the table. Languages that are not in the table are given extensions consistent with the table so that the alphabetical language subarrangement is preserved. The Cutter numbers for Chinese, Japanese and Korean in the following table are tentative —
| .x |
Original work |
| ? |
Arabic translation |
| .x12 |
Polyglot* |
| .x126 |
Chinese translation |
| .x13 |
English translation |
| .x14 |
French translation |
| .x15 |
German translation |
| ? |
Hebrew translation |
| .x16 |
Italian translation |
| .x163 |
Japanese translation |
| .x165 |
Korean translation |
| .x17 |
Russian translation |
| ? |
Persian translation |
| .x18 |
Spanish translation |
| ? |
Turkish translation |

Yiddish translation |
* The Cutter for Polyglot is assigned when a work is written in several languages.

Announcement
The Non-Roman Cataloging Section at the OSUL Cataloging Department now has a Del.icio.us account to gather bookmarks of useful online resouces and tools for non-Roman cataloging, which can be accessed from any computer workstation, as well as from your personal computer - any where and at any time!
http://del.icio.us/osul_nonroman_cat
More about this tool
- What? This is a new tool we created on “Del.icio.us.” Del.icio.us is one of the new trendy web tools in the category of “social bookmarking”. Have you ever felt troublesome to get back to a page you bookmarked on another computer? and your list of bookmarks or favorites is getting messier and messier with folders, sub-folders…? Del.icio.us promises to help on this, and with it you can
- Store your bookmarks online
- Access the same bookmarks from any computer
- Add bookmarks from anywhere
- Use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders
- Share your bookmarks with others, and watch whoelse is bookmarking the same thing you did!
- Who? - We made this tool public for everyone who is interested in non-Roman cataloging. Staffers here at the Non-Roman Cataloging Section is encouraged to use this tool and help building up the collection.
- How?
- Simply go the page if you just want to get to the list of bookmarks; Use tags to help navigate and find what you want;
- Login and you can start capture any web resources (webpages, databases, online dictionaries, blogs, etc.) using the Del.icio.us TAG installed;
- For consistancy, we’re developing a list of specific tags for non-Roman cataloging (forthcoming… stay tuned)
How to install the handy Del.icio.us TAG button?
On Del.icio.us homepage, click on “help” at the very upper right corner of the window,
under “Bookmarking” “install the tools for saving bookmarks”, choose one according to the browser your computer is using (mostly, “internet explorer buttons”)
then follow the install instructions

GUIDELINES ON SELECTING, NAMING AND ORGANIZING BOOKMARKS
Criteria for selection
- The site bears informative, useful and/or instrumental content related to library cataloging in general and non-roman cataloging in particular.
- Content on the site can enhance cataloging activities and decision making, such as determination of author name form, date, subject headings, classification, publication information, etc.
- Examples of categories include:
- Databases
- Online dictionaries
- Converting tools such as the Chinese Romanization Converter by Mandarin Tools
- Blogs
- Online calendar
- Articles of instruction, guideline, or description of cataloging procedures
Name it meanfully and efficiently
- Give a meaningful name of the site you bookmark.
- Use the site’s own name if it is unique.
- Make it unique if is not already. For instance, not “Chinese-English Online Dictionary” but “Jinshan Chinese-English Online Dictionary”. Because there maybe more than one Chinese-English dictionaries on our list!
Tagging to organize
- use lower case. For examples, “databases” but not “Databases”; “databases-chinese” but not “databases-Chinese.”
- 1 word tag
- use plural form when you are tagging a bookmark that belongs to a category. For examples, tag it “blog” if it is one of the blogs we select.
- use single when you tag a site that is on or about the subject. For example, tag it “blog” if it is a site about the blog technology.
- compound tag
- Use hyphen “-” or underscore “_” to bond words.
- Put the generic word at the beginning of the string. For examples, “databases-japanese,” “history-korean.”
- Del.icio.us has a feature called “related tags” that can reduce the use of compound tag.
- Multiple tags for the same bookmark
- One bookmark can have more than one tags. For examples, a site functions both as a blog and a researching resource for the blog technology can be tagged “blogs” and “blog.”
- tag as many as you like, but be efficient!
