<p class="MsoNormal">Is there anyone in the group who does cataloging of materials in Yiddish? Yiddish uses selected nikud, such as under the aleph in certain words. It would be incorrect to spell a Yiddish word without this. Hebrew materials, on the other
hand, usually appear without nekudot. Even when a title is vocalized, we transcribe it when we catalog it without the vocalization and put in a 500 note that says: "Title vocalized", etc. Would we do the same with Yiddish? E.g. the word "Amerikaner" -- would
we enter the Yiddish script unvocalized and add a note? Or is there a keyboard or program one can get for use with Yiddish cataloging that provides selected nekudot (my Hebrew keyboard does not have any nekudot)? Or are Yiddish language materials always cataloged
in romanization only (no Yiddish script used)?<br>
Thanks<u></u><u></u></p>
