As a librarian in international schools I have needed to build "mother tongue" 
collections in several languages.  The OCLC Language Sets ordering program is an 
excellent tool for doing that. I hope this information is useful to Angela and Kate 
as well as to others who serving large immigrant or international populations.

OCLC Language Sets are the fast way to build multilingual collections,
making it easy and affordable to serve your culturally diverse community. In
the package of pre-selected
sets, you get everything you need to start, maintain or expand a
non-English language collection of books and DVDs. Or using custom collections,
you tell us what type of materials you would like to receive (fiction,
non-fiction, juvenile, DVDs, etc.). Regardless which option you may choose, you
get quality MARC records for each title, your library's symbol added to
WorldCat, and free cataloging and shipping.

When do you need Language Sets?

If your non-English user
     population is growing.If you do not have an
     in-house language specialist.If you want to serve all
     of your community.If you do not know whom to
     contact to acquire high-quality non-English material.

Preselected sets: receive everything in one package, ready to shelve!

Our language specialists do all the work:

Select
     and acquire current popular materials in your choice of 15
     languages for adults or children. The sets include
      fiction, non-fiction, or a mixture of both.The sets include no
      duplicate titles because your holdings are checked against WorldCat.The price 
and the
      number of books is fixed, for easy budgeting on a yearly basis.
      Catalog in full MARC with LC
     subject headings and Dewey or LC call numbers. All records include Bilindex
     subject headings for Spanish titles.Physically
     process your items, if requested.Set
     your holdings in WorldCat.Ship
     your new materials to you at no cost.

We create new sets every month¡ªtwelve sets per language each year. You may
order just a single set or request a year-long subscription to steadily build
your collection.

For more specific needs, you can also use our custom
collections service.
