Sample Searches for Bilingual Resources
Bilingual resources are valuable in teaching languages but can be difficult to find. When looking for bilingual resources in the library catalog, adding the terms Bilingual or Dual or Parallel can be helpful additions to searches for a specific language.
For example- if you were looking for Cree bilingual resources for children, you can go to the advanced search and enter in Cree AND juvenile AND (dual OR parallel OR bilingual) in the All Fields section.
