Model A - Vernacular and Transliteration  (Appendix C:  Multiscript Records)

Example 1:  Multiscript record that follows Model A.

In this example, the language of cataloging is English (Latin script) and the language of the name heading is Russian (Cyrillic script).  The cataloging agency provides transliteration of some Cyrillic script data into the Latin script and prefers to carry only Latin script in the regular fields, with Cyrillic script data in occurrences of field 880.  The notes are in English.

Example 2:  Multiscript record that follows Model A.

In this example, the language of cataloging is English (Latin script) and the heading is provided in English (Latin script), Hebrew (Hebrew script) and Russian (Cyrillic script).

The directionality of the Hebrew text in the example is right-to-left within each subfield, but the subfields themselves have been recorded left-to-right.  The actual input of all the data is in logical order (first-to-last), parts of which may be displayed in various directions depending upon the script and the display interface.
