Hello all,

I’m a new librarian and have responsibility for cataloging our print serials. One of our serial subscriptions is for a Korean journal whose English title is The Word. The entire publication is in Korean and I’m unable to find an ISSN anywhere in the publication. I haven’t been able to find a record in OCLC for the purposes of copy cataloging. I do have a student worker who reads Korean and can translate for me. My question is, for the purposes of cataloging this journal, can I catalog it in English even though it is in Korean? Do I need to include a transliterated Korean title in the 245 field with the English as a parallel title? I would appreciate any guidance or direction anyone can offer. Also, I apologize if this is not the correct listserv for this question. Please let me know if I need to direct it elsewhere.

Thank you,
