What fields in the authority record can have non-Latin scripts?
A2. Non-Latin scripts will be added only in references on name authority records (i.e., 4XX fields), and in selected note fields—667 (Nonpublic general note), 670 (Source data found), and 675 (Source data not found). Some fields, of course, will contain a mix of scripts (e.g., 670 citations with headings represented in both non-Latin script and romanized form). Additional fields may be used in the future, based on user feedback. Note that authorized headings (i.e., 1XX and 5XX) in authority records must be in romanized form.
