OCLC Language Sets provide libraries with pre-selected multilingual book and DVD collections at discounted prices to help build collections for non-English speaking communities. The sets include OCLC MARC records and can be customized to meet specific language or subject needs. Promotional materials are also available to help libraries promote their multilingual collections. Custom Collections allow libraries to work directly with OCLC to acquire additional titles beyond the pre-selected Language Sets.
