USING AREA STUDIES COLLECTIONS
To maximize your opportunities to mine the riches of the Library's foreign-language materials, you should consult the reference librarians and area specialists in the Area Studies reading rooms. Refer frequently to the list under Visit/Contact to clarify the sometimes confusing custodial assignment of items throughout the Library. You will also find “Searching LC Catalogs” and “The General Collections,” especially the sections on Library of Congress Subject Headings, very helpful for understanding how the Library is structured so that you can locate source material in all of the collections. Specific search strategies are discussed more thoroughly in two case studies on Jewish women and Latinas. [Top] |
