I think it would be necessary to have 880 field included in Alma Analytics. For me, including original scripts is really a diversity and equity issue. Chinese is a tonal language, but standard romanization of Chinese has no indication of the tone of the characters. This makes it extremely difficult to rely just on the romanization to identify the title of the book. Adding 880 field would benefit all library staff who deal with CJK materials and our large community of users too.
