Bilingual subject headings

Queen Elizabeth II statue on Parliament Hill One of my current interests is the topic of bilingual subject headings. A few cataloguers at the CLA Conference pointed to the Bibliothèque de l'Université Laval as a source. One cataloguer pointed out that the University of Laval Library supplies French subject headings to AMICUSthrough Répertoire de vedettes-matière (RVM). The Conference was a good place to inquire.

The topic is even more interesting when one considers multilingual subject headings. SLAIS students have already done some research on the literature:
Multilingual ACess to Subjects
. The "official" MACS page is still up.
