Abstract
Many North American library catalogs support title, author, and keyword searching in multiple scripts. When it comes to subject searching, however, these systems provide access primarily to controlled English-language subject headings and thesauri, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). In much of the cataloging for items in languages not written in Roman script, Englishlanguage subject access provides insufficient description of the content to ensure the retrieval of the item.
