Abstract
Guidelines for understanding the structure of Hebrew personal names for constructing valid entries and access points in catalogues, including romanization schemes. This 2018 IFLA document outlines traditional and modern naming conventions in Israel, covering forenames, patronymics, epithets, surnames, and religious titles across various Jewish languages. It emphasizes preferred name forms, cataloguing order, and transliteration practices, and references the multilingual authority file maintained by the National Library of Israel.
