{{Main article|ALA-LC romanization for Russian}}

[[American Library Association]] and [[Library of Congress]] (ALA-LC) romanization tables for Slavic alphabets are used in [[North America]]n libraries and in the British Library since 1975.

The formal, unambiguous version of the system for bibliographic cataloguing requires some diacritics, [[Tie (typography)|two-letter tie character]]s, and prime marks. The standard is also often adapted as a "simplified" or "modified Library of Congress system" for use in text for a non-specialized audience, omitting the special characters and diacritics, simplifying endings, and modifying iotated initials.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Shaw|first=J.
