Finding Books & Videos in Other Languages

Most of the time, looking for a book or a video is just a matter of typing in a title, author, or even a topic into OneSearch or the library's catalog, but there are other ways to search. This guide will show you how to find books and videos by language. 

To see all titles in a specific language:

• Go to the Fulton Library's Catalog
• Click Advanced Search.
• Underneath the search boxes, in the section labeled Item Type, select the format(s) you would like.
  • For books, select Books and Electronic Books.
  • or videos, select AV - DVDs, AV - Bluray Discs, AV- Bluray/DVD Combo, AV - Discs, and Streaming Media.
• Underneath the Item Type section, use the Language drop-down menu to select any of the available languages. You may need to scroll down the page to see this option.
• Click the green search button. You don't need to type anything in the search boxes.

Note: You may find that when you search for videos, movies come up that aren't in your preferred language. This is because the video has subtitles in the language you searched for. 

The Fulton Library uses the Library of Congress System to organize our books and videos. This means items on specific topics can be found near each other and helps you locate materials in a specific language.

Videos are located on the second floor of the library. All foreign language movies are in section PN1995.9 .F67, then alphabetized by language.

Literature is organized by language so that, for example, all books in German or translated from German will be in the same location. All of our foreign language books are on the fourth floor of the library. You can browse our foreign language books by visiting these sections.
