LANIC

Web site of the Latin American Network Information Center at the University of Texas at Austin's Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS). Lists and links to a Latin American country index and to a subject index that includes information on Latin American agriculture, art, business, government, health, military, music, and travel. Provides access to the WWW Virtual Library and ILAS home pages and to other Latin American resources on the WWW.

The ambitious mission of this site is "...to facilitate access to Internet-based information to, from, or on Latin America." From Peruvian recipes to Chilean economic policies, LANIC provides vast resources, and can be accessed in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. The resources available will be of use to anyone with an interest in most any subject related to Latin America, including academic researchers, primary, and secondary educators. An editorial staff has selected the site's 12,000 plus URLs, which can be accessed either via a subject directory or a Google-powered search engine."--"Best Free Reference Web Sites 2003," RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2003; reviewed March 14, 2003.
