Finding Books and Films in World Languages

Language facet in Discovery catalogThe Discovery Catalog's search makes finding materials in world languages easy. It often can account for variant spellings.

The search limits on the left side of the page include a Language category that can help you narrow your current results. Just click the individual language to limit the current results to one specific language. You also may select (or deselect) multiple languages using the check boxes along with the Include or Exclude buttons.

Category facet including Foreing language video in Discovery CatalogIf you are searching for films in world languages, the Category limit includes one for "Foreign language video." Again, these search limits apply to the current search results, so you won't see the category for foreign language video unless your results include titles that fall under that category.

To begin your search, go directly to the Discovery Catalog at discover.westlakelibrary.org or use the search box at the top of this web page.
