Introduction

This guide lists electronic and print periodical indexes for Latin American studies. The indexes of first resort for Latin American studies are usually the Handbook of Latin American studies and HAPI, Hispanic American periodicals index in the adjoining box. Many other indexes, some print and some electronic, which are more specialized, include book reviews, and/or cover the earlier literature, are listed under the Additional Indexes tab. To find local periodical indexes not in this list, use the HOLLIS Catalog: "Brazilian periodicals indexes", "Brazil Indexes Periodicals".
