Transliterating Slavic Languages in Pegasus and Melvyl

The UCSB Library collection includes thousands of books in Slavic languages. The bulk of the collection is in Russian. The combined UC collection is even larger and includes materials in a greater variety of Slavic languages.

At the present time, the only way to access these materials in Pegasus and Melvyl is in a transliterated (or romanized) form. There are many transliteration schemes available, but all libraries in the United States follow those established by the Library of Congress and the American Library Association.

If you are trying to figure out how to search for transliterated authors, titles, or series, follow the links below to the appropriate language table. Below are links to the official library transliteration tables for Slavic languages materials used by the UCSB and other UC libraries.

*  Belorussian
*  Bulgarian
*  Church Slavic
*  Russian
*  Serbian and Macedonian
*  Ukrainian

*  Non-Slavic Languages in Cyrillic Script
