The Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research at the University of California, Riverside will expand and enhance its growing database, A Union Catalog and Bibliography of Latin American Imprints to 1851. This database currently contains approximately 51,000 titles. The project team will collect approximately 30,000 new title records from distributed online catalogs, printed bibliographies, and other sources to help the database grow to sufficient size and scope to become a transformative tool in Latin American studies research. This multiyear project will also include planning for making the database contents shareable and harvestable in new ways that are compatible with evolving library technical practices.
