The most important source for bibliography of books and articles
concerning Cuba 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 regional resources for Latin
America is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/cuba/).
Another site one should especially note is the site prepared
by the Law Library of the Library of Congress for international
and multinational information on their Guide
to Law Online (http://www.loc.gov/law/guide/cuba.html).
