| dc.description.abstract | Linking non-Roman subject terms with LCSH terms through the use of FAST terms opens new possibilities for improving resource discoverability and access to non-Roman script collections. My discussion will be focused on how the MARC21 record can be utilized to display non-Roman script subject terms in the ILS. To maximize discoverability of materials, non-Roman terms are linked to FAST subject terms. I will describe the experience of subject searching of non-Roman script materials using either the FAST English language terms, or their equivalents in non-Roman script languages. The Arabic language subject terms will be used as a prototype that can be applied as best practice for other non-Roman languages. | en |
