In addition to bibliographic cataloguing, simplified versions of the Library of Congress system are widely used for romanization in the text of academic and general publications. For notes or bibliographical references, some publications use a version without ligatures, which offers sufficient precision but simplifies the typesetting burden and easing readability. For specialist audiences or those familiar with Slavic languages, a version without ligatures and diacritical marks is sometimes used. For broader audiences, a "modified Library of Congress system" is employed for personal, organizational, and place names, omitting all ligatures and diacritics, ignoring the soft sign ь (ʹ), with initial Є- ("I͡E-"), Й- ("Ĭ-"), Ю- ( "I͡U-"), and Я- ("I͡A-") represented by "Ye-", "Y-", "Yu-", and "Ya-", surnames' terminal -ий ("-yĭ") and -ій ("-iĭ") endings simplified to "-y", and sometimes with common first names anglicized, for example, Олександр ("Oleksandr") written as "Alexander".
