Spanish Resources Guide
Welcome to the guide! This online guide will help you to find materials such as books, journal articles, and films that are necessary for your studies in Spanish.
This is a bilingual guide, so you will find English and Spanish descriptions of different resources depending if they were created in the United States, Spain or Latin America.
Note: due to a position vacancy, there is currently no assigned Spanish language and Latinx studies specialist. If you would like to place a request for a book or media material purchase, then please contact: Richard Bleiler, richard.bleiler@uconn.edu
