Catalog Searching Tips
Tibetan language: Any Tibetan language in our catalog records is rendered using the Wylie transliteration system. For details on the Wylie system, please consult The Tibetan & Himalayan Library’s THL Extended Wylie Transliteration Scheme: http://www.thlib.org/reference/transliteration/#!essay=/thl/ewts
Please note that in Latse catalog records, all syllables of proper names and places are separated; we also do not make use of hyphens. For example:
Song srong btsan sgam po
Sde dge
Chinese language: To search for materials in Chinese language, please use pinyin transliteration and separate all syllables. For example:
Bei jing
chu ban she
Byara database
Byara is a searchable journal database of that enables researchers to familiarize themselves with secondary research in Tibetan language by scholars and researchers in the People’s Republic of China.
Currently the Byara Database includes over 12,000 bibliographic entries of articles from journals, books, and proceedings published in Tibetan language in the PRC.
Using Byara
Users may perform direct searches of journals (by author, title, keyword, journal name, and so on), or browse records from individual journal issues.
Byara Database entries use the Wylie transliteration system (do not include hyphens for proper nouns).
