[Koha] Re: Books in Spanish (fwd)

[Bigwood, David]

Pat,

OCLC is not open to the world. It looks like the state of Idaho has
purchased access privileges for all the libraries in the state.

Now if you are meaning restricting searches by languages, that is fairly
simple. In 008 there is a 3 letter code for language. There may also be a
language code in 041 of the MARC record.

Sincerely,

If you sign up for your free access to OCLC's First Search WorldCat you
could use the advanced search (not hard, just more options than a simple
search), search for your authors while limiting the search to books in the
Spanish language.
You get:

Victoria Holt: 160 records
Agatha Christie: 569 records
Danielle Steel: 222 records

Obviously, multiple editions. Each record has a list of the holding
libraries, giving you a place to fire off an ILL request.

Sign up info at: http://www.lili.org/worldcatdemo.htm

Come'on people--it's the world's largest and greatest bibliographic
database, all provided by your tax $$$. It's useful for ILL and Reference.
You'll be surprised how easy it is to use, and the immense amount of stuff
in there.
