Some years ago I worked at University of Michigan library.  There we used the
Library of Congress' system.  As far as I know libraries consider it a
standard.  Most likely it is used for the Russian titles at you local (academic) library.
This article is written in a rough approximation of it.

For example, the data entry teminals I used there had two weird characters to
weld the i to the other vowel to represent the "soft" vowels.  The ascii
flattenization you probably see in your electronic card catalog is NOT
unambiguously transliterable, without (A)I anyway.  If your library is in the
Research Libraries' Information Network, and your book was published prior to
1987, I may well have put it there.

Grammatical flames always welcome.  Free education...

The other system is meant as a joke, I'm not trying to sell anyone on visual
representation...

Be entirely tolerant or not at all; follow the good path or the evil
one.  To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess.

That should be:
Neskol'ko let nazad ia rabotal v biblioteke Michiganskogo
Universiteta. Tam my pol'zovalis' sistemoi prinyatoi Bibliotekoi Kongressa.
Naskol'ko ia znayu, eta sistema schitaetsya standartom bol'shinstvom  
bibliotek.  Veroiatno ona ispol'zovana dlya russkih  zaglaviy v
kataloge vashei mestnoi biblioteki. Eta stat`ya, v grubom
priblizhenii, napisana s eye pomochshyu.
