13. Latin American Network Information Center
http://www1.lanic.utexas.edu/

Started in 1992 and affiliated with the Lozano Long Institute of Latin
American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, the Latin American
Network Information Center () is designed to "facilitate access to
Internet-based information to, from, or on Latin America." Their site was
redesigned in the spring of 2008, and currently their various directories
contain over 12,000 unique URLs for use by the general public. These links
can be browsed by subject headings or by country, and visitors can look into
more discrete topical headings like "food", "political science", and "social
work". Along with these high-quality links, visitors can then click on over
to their "Digital Initiatives" area. Here they will find digital collections
that cover documents from the New Mexican Revolution and the full-text Fidel
Castro Speech database. Visitors will also appreciate that many of the
site's resources are available in Spanish and Portuguese. [KMG]
