A status report on the pinyin conversion has been posted on the pinyin conversion home page: http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/pinyin/ As with any large-scale project, there are known to be errors in individual records. A special team of catalogers is working on these. A particular anomaly already reported has been the conversion into pinyin romanization of authority records which are not Chinese. These records are first in the queue for correction. Reports of specific records needing repair should be made directly to the head of the Pinyin Conversion Project, Phil Melzer, at [log in to unmask]
