A Guide To...Latin American, Latinx, & Caribbean Studies

Try exploring CrossSearch for books related to your topic. If Holy Cross does not have a book you need, you can use WorldCat to search for books from other libraries and then request these books through Interlibrary Loan.

Books at Holy Cross Libraries are arranged by Library of Congress Call Number.

At Dinand, call numbers A through G are on the upper (Mezzanine) level. Call numbers H through Z are on the lower (Ground) level, with a few exceptions. Call numbers beginning with "M" are located in the Music Library and “Q, R, S, T” are in the Science Library. 

For research in Latin American, Latinx, & Caribbean Studies, you may find relevant titles in several different call number ranges. For example, you will find many books in the D, E and F sections as many history books are classified under call numbers starting with D (history of Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia), F (history of the Americas). You may also find relevant titles in the J section (Political Science) and H section (Social Sciences).
