The Monolingual Cataloging Monolith: A Barrier to Library Access for Readers of Spanish.
Jensen, Bruce
MultiCultural Review, v12 n1 p49-52 Mar 2003
Asserts that despite growing awareness of frontline public service concerns in accommodating Spanish speakers, little care is invested in the technical processing side of the library's responsibility to Spanish speakers. Examines the usefulness and accessibility of online public access catalogs for monolingual Spanish readers, focusing on records for juvenile literature. Overall, most libraries have catalogs that are largely unusable by monolingual Spanish speakers. Presents some exemplary exceptions. (SM)
