An initiative to establish a unified transliteration for library processing of materials in oriental languages

The University of Sarajevo Library initiated the necessary activities to establish a unified transliteration for the library processing of materials in Oriental languages. On that occasion, a meeting was held at the University of Sarajevo Rectorate on 8 February 2021. The meeting was attended by Prof. Dr. Dušanka Bošković, Vice Rector for Quality, M.Sc. Nadina Grebović-Lendo, University of Sarajevo Library director, National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Virtual Library of BiH, and Faculty of Philosophy, Gazi Husrev-Bey Library librarians and Bosniak Institute - Adil Zulfikarpašić Foundation representatives.
Considering that a large number of libraries at University of Sarajevo organizational units process materials in the COBISS system, activities have been initiated to establish a single transliteration – to expand the list of graphemes in accordance with the ZDMG transliteration system.

It is necessary to make a document that will make recommendations at the level of the University of Sarajevo and facilitate the work of librarians who process materials in Oriental languages.
