First of the Converted Pinyin
Bibliographic Records Distributed
Approximately 30,000 of the expected 170,000 converted pinyin bibliographic records are contained in this issue of MDS-CJK (volume 14, issue 11). The remaining pinyin bibliographic records will appear in subsequent issues of MDS-CJK and MDS-Books All. All converted bibliographic records contain a 987 field indicating the conversion status of each record. For more detail about the pinyin project see previous CDS notices or the pinyin webpage, http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pinyin/pinyin.html.
