SPAN 431 - Spanish American Civilizations: Library & Internet Resources
Subject Search
This is the most efficient approach to searching for materials in the library catalog, unless you are looking for a specific author or title. You need to use specific terms. You can also use these subject headings when searching the HLAS Online, the MLA bibliography and HAPI database. Always begin with the broader term. As you get results, you can narrow your search by adding terms:
Spanish Conquest
Renaissance
Enlightenment
Baroque
Philip II
Charles I
Mayas
Incas
If you are searching for books written about an author, do a Subject search. Use the author´s name as the subject. For example:
Casas, Bartolome de las
Bolivar, Simon
