For information about additional resources on mass media and communications at the Library of Congress, consult its online catalog (http://catalog.loc.gov). Within the Library of Congress, the Newspaper & Current Periodical Reading Room has an online search facility to discern what newspapers are available for consultation in that reading room: http://www.loc.gov/rr/news/fncr.html. The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning Suriname 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 Suriname is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/sa/suriname/).
