General Resources : Ecuador

A listing of web sites that provide links to information about Ecuador. The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning these subjects for Ecuador is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form.   One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Ecuador is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/ecuador/). Another site one should especially note is the site prepared by the Law Library of the Library of Congress for legal, political, and general information on their Guide to Law Online (http://www.loc.gov/law/guide/ecuador.html).
