The UIC law library and the UIC libraries system subscribe to a number of commercial databases that offer coverage of Latin America. These databases are listed below, and at right. UIC users will need to submit their NetID and password to gain access to these resources from off campus.
Most of the law-related databases listed below are available through the law library's website via the "Subscription Databases" link.
For a complete list of interdisciplinary databases with coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean, see the UIC Daley Library's electronic research guide on " Latin American & Latino Studies."
Newspapers may be extremely helpful when researching Latin American legal topics. Westlaw and LexisNexis both have good coverage of U.S., international, and foreign newspapers. See also the subscription Access World News database for full-text access to newspapers. A historical archive of English and Spanish-language newspapers published in Latin America is available through the World Newspaper Archive. For a complete list of UIC databases that include news and newspapers, see this linked list.
