In today's web-based environment, CD-ROMs have been increasingly neglected. This is unfortunate, as CD-ROMs contain a wealth of information that is not available on the web or in Article Databases. Suppose you are seeking a collection of international treaties between Spain and other countries from 1598-1900, or information on historical linguistic studies of the indigenous Mexican language Náhuatl carried out in the 1800s. There are CD-ROMs for these and many more topics, available in the Reference Department of Davis Library. You can search for CD-ROM titles in the Library Catalog or browse the alphabetical and subject listings. The following titles are particularly useful for Latin American Studies research.

• Business:
  • Encyclopedia of World Economies
  • International Statistical Yearbook
• History:
  • American History - CD Sourcebook (Volume One: From Discovery to World War I)
  • American Indian: a Multimedia Encyclopedia
