Spanish Research Seminar: Find Books, Media, & Articles

TIP: Create a list of words or concepts related to your topic and use them to search WorldCat@SU. Search results will include books, media, articles and more. To see just books, use the Search Tools and limit Format to "Books." 

You may narrow the results even further by choosing between "print" books and eBooks. 

We have many Spanish-language materials in our collections. Select "Spanish" on the left side of the search screen to limit your results to materials in that language. Ask a librarian for help if you need it.
