It also allows reference librarians to communicate and provide Spanish access to the library collections. The Spanish equivalent terms include regional variants from the many regions of the United States where Spanish is spoken. Bilindex includes standardized Spanish equivalent headings to over 13,000 current Library of Congress subject headings in a wide range of subjects. Bilindex includes an explanatory preface; cross references; scope notes; children's subject headings; standard subdivisions; and English to Spanish index; regional variants of authorized Spanish subject terms used by Spanish speaking people in the United States; and hard to find technical terms.
