Key Resources
The International Studies LibGuide points to many databases and online resources which are helpful for Latin American Studies, as well as other area studies' fields.
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is another excellent resource for books, periodicals, manuscripts, newspapers, and archival materials in print, microfilm, and digital formats. FSU belongs to this international consortium of university, college, and independent
research libraries, which allows FSU patrons to borrow CRL materials via interlibrary loan for extended periods.
One way to identify key collections is through CRL Topic Guides. See, for example, the Topic Guides for Latin American Studies and Human Rights.
- Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC) Administered by the University of Texas Austin, provides access to official (government), scholarly, and popular internet portals to information on Latin America for virtually every subject available.
