Box 18Titles in more than one language

• If a database/retrieval system title is written in several languages:

  • Give the title in the first language found on the opening screens
  • List all languages of publication after the availability statement
  • Separate the languages by commas
  • End the list of languages with a period
    Example:

• If a database/retrieval system has equal text in two or more languages, as often occurs in Canadian publications:

  • Give all titles in the order in which they are found on the opening screens
  • Place an equals sign with a space before and after between each title
  • List the particular languages, separated by commas, after the availability statement
  • End the list of languages with a period
