A short guide to sources for Latin American Studies
Compiled by Frank Conaway, Social Sciences Bibliographer, University of Chicago Library
INTRODUCTION
Information on materials for Latin America routinely appears in large,
general databases available to University of Chicago researchers through
its networked information systems. For example, information on holdings
of tens of millions of titles at many libraries can be found by searching
World Cat
or RLIN,
including innumerable books and serials on Latin America held at University
of California at Berkeley, or the University of Texas at Austin, or at
any of hundreds of other libraries. Information on dissertations is in
ProQuest Digital Dissertations.
Texts of articles in many newspapers and many periodicals can be found
in broad-based databases such as Lexis-Nexis
Academic Universe and ProQuest
Direct. U. S. Government-produced translations of selections from
Latin American newspapers and broadcast media can be found in the networked
source World News Connection.
A great deal more information on Latin America is found in subject-related databases. Thus, Historical Abstracts provides extensive information about journal articles appearing in more than 2000 historical serials. MLA provides searchable information about the literature of Latin America. Sociological Abstracts many citations of research relating to Latin America, and PAIS International provides citations for politics, public policy, and public affairs. There are similar databases for economics, art, education, religion, and so forth. For further information on these databases and many others, consult the Library's web site.
Many general guides include extensive coverage for Latin America. For instance, Newspapers in Microform: Foreign Countries, 1948-1983 (Z6945.U571 RR), compiled by the Library of Congress, is useful for identifying Latin American newspapers. The US and British government documents are rich in information about Latin America, and there are various electronic and print indexes available for them.
None of these general sources is referred to in the short guide that follows, which is limited to identifying about 50 key sources that relate to Latin America on a comprehensive basis. See also a longer guide, Representative Reference Sources for Latin America, which lists approximately 500 sources.
For information on sources for specific aspects of Latin America, such
as linguistics, or political parties, or theatre, or urbanization, or agriculture,
or banking, consult the extensive chapters in Latin America and the
Caribbean, a Critical Guide to Research Sources, edited by Paula H.
Covington (Z1601.L32250 1992 RR3). And likewise for sources on specific
countries, such as the national bibliographies, dissertations, historical
sources, poetry, migration statistics, or the dance of Peru or Colombia
or Cuba. Covington, described more fully below, includes nearly 6000 annotated
citations to research sources.
Guide
to Reference Books,
edited by Robert Balay (Z1035.1G890 1996 RR, RR2, RR3, etc.), while more
general, includes very thorough annotations to hundreds of key reference
sources of importance for Latin America, and it is somewhat more up to date
than Covington. It is well indexed.
