Illipaths

The staff of the Latin American and Caribbean Library have compiled the Illipath Series of pathfinders as guides to the extensive materials on Latin America and the Caribbean held by the University Library.  The pathfinders are intended primarily for undergraduate students, who are often unfamiliar with the resources available in a large academic library.  The Illipath Series cover a wide range of topics, including international resource management in Latin America, Cuban involvement in the Angolan Civil War and Latin American and Caribbean videos.  Please consult the UIUC library catalog (using the keyword "Illipaths") for a listing of the Illipath titles.
