- Abstract
- Examines the 2 major schemes for transliteration or Romanization of Chinese into English: Wade-Giles and Pinyin. Concludes that both methods are about equally effective, but since most of the rest of the world is now using Pinyin, the Library of Congress should, for practical reasons, switch to Pinyin
