<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for your interest in multilingual search, Janet!</div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, the UI on the advanced search screen isn't great. I agree that more patrons will be interested in a boolean AND for that field than a boolean OR. If you know the item_lang(spa)-style syntax, it works really well, but that seems like a lot to ask of our patrons! Maybe there should be a launchpad bug to improve the user experience there.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Also, for what it's worth, we found that all the default subfields are a little over generous. We changed the item_lang record attribute to only grab from the Lang fixed field, 041$a, 041$d, and 041$e.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Also, here's the announcement that I sent to the catalogers in our consortium:</div><div><br></div><div>
You can now search for bilingual books in the catalog! For example, here is a list of all the books in LBCC's catalog that<br>
contain both English and Portuguese content:<br>
<a href="https://libcat.linnbenton.edu/eg/opac/results?query=item_lang%28por%29+%26%26+item_lang%28eng%29&qtype=keyword&fi%3Asearch_format=book&locg=7&detail_record_view=1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://libcat.linnbenton.edu/eg/opac/results?query=item_lang%28por%29+%26%26+item_lang%28eng%29&qtype=keyword&fi%3Asearch_format=book&locg=7&detail_record_view=1</a><br>
<br>
Previously, Evergreen thought that every book was in one -- and only<br>
one -- language. You could only search for bilingual materials if you<br>
did some really special cataloging work (for example, LBCC has been<br>
manually putting notes in all the records for our multilingual<br>
materials). Now, you should be able to pull in records, and Evergreen<br>
will know *all* the languages that the item is in without any special<br>
cataloging interventions.<br>
<br>
Using this search is a little weird, you have to express the languages<br>
that you're interested in using strings like so: item_lang(eng)<br>
item_lang(spa) -- you can string these together until you have the<br>
exact language combo you're looking for, and then hit search. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps!</div><div><br></div><div> -Jane<br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 20, 2019 at 2:07 PM Andrea Buntz Neiman <<a href="mailto:abneiman@equinoxinitiative.org">abneiman@equinoxinitiative.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Janet --<div><br></div><div>I'm on my way out the door but here's the official docs Equinox wrote to accompany this; hope it helps!</div><div><br></div><div>
