Edited by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress, the multidisciplinary Handbook alternates annually between the social sciences and the humanities. The print edition, published by the University of Texas Press, includes over 5,000 bibliographic entries each year. More than 130 leading scholars from throughout the world choose and annotate these items. Continuously published since 1935, the Handbook offers Latin Americanists an essential guide to available resources. Today, in addition to the print edition, the Handbook is available for electronic searching via the Internet at HLAS Online (http://www.loc.gov/hlas; v.1-onward) and HLAS/Voyager (connect to HLAS through LOC Online Catalog by selecting Other Databases; v.50-onward), and on a CD-ROM (HLAS/CD; v.1-56), published by the Fundación Histórica TAVERA (Madrid, Spain). Works reviewed include books, journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers in the disciplines of Anthropology (including Archaeology, Ethnohistory and Ethnology), Art, Economics, Geography, Government and Politics, History, International Relations, Literature, Music, Philosophy, and Sociology. Starting with Volume 54, the Handbook also includes a section on Electronic Resources for Latin American studies. In addition, some of the earlier volumes included other disciplines such as Carography, Film, Folklore, Law, and so forth. Only the most recent Handbook volumes (50-64) can be searched via the Z39.50 server.
