Latin American and Iberian Studies  Tags: latin_american_iberian_collections  

 Library catalogs offer lots of options for textual and other references. Use the advanced search to idenitfy images, musical scores, maps, manuscripts.

It's hard, but not impossible to find non-verbal expressions of identity, representation of space and transformation. The following list includes manuscript and popular culture documents that may help you bring aidentify some non-verbal references. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you'd like to make better sense of how to use these references...

Hello, I designed this page to help you access library resources (including databases and books, special collections and some cool web sources). I hope it will help you indentify at least two texts, one verbal and one non-verbal 
from the 16th, 17th, 18th, or 19th century to analyze for your final project. More importantly, I hope to help guide you through making good research decisions. Please feel free to contact me (my contact info is to the right of this message) should you have any questions. You can always visit me in the Herzstein Room. I hold office hours very Wednesday from 5-7 and Sunday from 6-9 in the evening.

digital archives are constructed to get attention from average users. We know you're not average, but anyway .. Regardless of whether you chosse an advanced option or the basic search, know that Google Scholar is for articles and books, not archives and images typically. You must be a discerning researching when you use google. If you find a page that does not offer citations, think twice. Would you use a print source with no citations? If not, don't use a web source with no citations. Does this mean google can't be useful -- no!!!! You have to be critical -- that's your job!!!

Since so many of you have worked with such great stuff, feel free to add links for all of us. It's a great expression of the intellectual process.
