LC Pinyin Home Page
The Library of Congress wishes to announce the creation of a
Pinyin Conversion Project home page, located on its Cataloging
Directorate home page at this address:
http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/pinyin
This site will provide information and documents related to the
Pinyin Conversion Project. Because plans for several important
aspects of the project are still being formulated, status reports
will be updated periodically. Links to related Web sites will be
provided. Documents important to the project will be posted in a
timely manner. Contents include:
