Abstract

A wide diversity exists in the current practice of transliterating Cyrillic scripts for use in bibliographic records in OPACs. Without knowing which transliteration table was used, it is difficult to retrieve desired records successfully or efficiently. Explores the problems besetting 3 groups of Russian language students, at Florida University at Gainesville, Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages, faced with romanized Cyrillic bibliographic records and investigates the students' ability to search the Russian records according to the LoC transliteration table. Results show the students' success and error rates before and after instruction and establish that transliteration is one of the factors limiting access by Russian language students
