[AISLE-Share] How do you catalogue different languages

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

We have a ton of books in Spanish, and they are cataloged and shelved the
same way as regular books, with a label that says "In Spanish" on the spine
and the front. That way everyone is shopping for books in the same area. We
also put a 692 local tag in the MARC record so that if students do a
subject search in the online catalog for *Spanish*, all of the books we own
in that language are listed.
