# Kathleen Senn: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

This project examined how quality control measures could be standardized and refined so that international collection materials are able to be found, used, and enjoyed by all users of the Library of Congress. At the Library of Congress, titles and authors of books in non-Roman scripts are converted into the Roman alphabet in a process called romanization. The Roman alphabet is used to write the English language. Romanized titles and authors are used in the records for these items in the Library catalog. This helps people to find (and help others find) items quickly even if they are not fluent in a language. Quality control involves comparing a physical item and the record associated with it to make sure that they match. If they match, the item can be discovered by Library staff and patrons. If not, an item can be difficult to locate. Kathleen's role in the project was to understand the current state of quality control procedures in cataloging across different departments in the Library, look at the data being collected about these procedures, and make suggestions about how to proceed with quality control in the future.
