UC Berkeley Libraries collections are used by scholars who speak and read many languages, so you may see many non-English titles in your search results. If you prefer to see only English-language materials, you can limit your search results in OskiCat by language.
In OskiCat: After you search, click on either the Modify Search or Sort/Limit Results
buttons near the top of the page. Under Languages, select English on the pull-down menu, then click the Submit button.
