The title of the session was "Bilingual Subject Access for the 21st Century". The following are my notes for the session: Michael Kreyche (Digital Resource Development Specialist and Associate Professor at Kent State University) the force behind “LC Subject Headings in Spanish” or http://www.lchs-es.org spoke on the importance of adding Spanish subject headings to bibliographic records for Spanish titles. Mr. Kreyche mentioned the title “SALSA de Tópicos = Subjects in SALSA” as an excellent book on the topic of serving Spanish-speaking users The goals of lchs-es.org are: • Providing a freely available, current, comprehensive as possible, and helpful resource for Spanish language subject access • Providing a collaborative environment • Providing a database of Spanish subject headings which are MARC based The new version of lchs-es.org (will be implemented in the spring of 2008) will feature: • New interactivity functionality (authority records for most subject headings, cross references) • Enhanced searching capability • Community based collaboration • Login will be required The session was interesting and helpful; we are already currently using lchs-es.org to supplement Bilindex terms and it was insightful to hear an update on new features lchs-es.org will add in the future.

The goals of lchs-es.org are:
• Providing a freely available, current, comprehensive as possible, and helpful resource for Spanish language subject access
• Providing a collaborative environment
• Providing a database of Spanish subject headings which are MARC based

The new version of lchs-es.org (will be implemented in the spring of 2008) will feature:
• New interactivity functionality (authority records for most subject headings, cross references)
• Enhanced searching capability
• Community based collaboration
• Login will be required

The session was interesting and helpful; we are already currently using lchs-es.org to supplement Bilindex terms and it was insightful to hear an update on new features lchs-es.org will add in the future.
