SPAN 3441: Latin American Culture & Civilization: Find Books

Latin American Culture and Civilization

Hint for your Assignment

You will find books in the catalog. Use the catalog's advanced search to better find books for your assignment.

There are many books containing Hispanic American and Latin American stories in the PQ section, but you will still need to use the catalog to search.

Try searching by subject. Use both the Spanish and English words for your topic with the word OR between them.

For questions that mention a specific author, search the catalog by author.

On this page, you will find:

  • A tutorial teaching you how to construct searches in the catalog
  • A search box to search in the catalog directly
  • Links to InterLibrary Loan and other important services
