The University of Kentucky Libraries houses research materials in multiple languages within its collection. InfoKat, the University of Kentucky Libraries' catalog, has a function that allows users to limit their searches by language.

This guide gives you an overview of how you can find resources in all languages. It is intended as a starting point for anyone wishing to use resources in languages other than English.
