The New Jersey State Library's MultiMAC Booklist, hosted by the Newark Public Library, is an excellent resource for identifying adult and children's books in several languages. The booklist is updated quarterly and includes annotations and full bibliographic information. Of special note are the lists of vendors and other resources for collecting in Arabic, Chinese, French, Indic languages, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
