To find reference works on any Latin American topic, search the Tulane University Libraries Catalog more effectively by using LC Subject Headings. The following chart can help get you started. LC Subject Headings are controlled vocabulary; not just any term will do. To identify the best LC Subject Headings for your search, consult the "Library of Congress Subject Headings" red books located at the LAL reference desk, pay attention to the subject headings listed in the catalog records for books you've already identified, or ask LAL staff for research assistance.
