  • Worldcat
    This online catalog lists books, journals, maps, recordings, films, scores, and other materials located in public, academic, corporate, school and specialized libraries all over the world. It is particularly helpful for identifying holdings of library materials that are not available at Princeton. Items can often be borrowed through Borrow Direct or Interlibrary Loan.
     
  • Red BAALC
    The Catálogo Integrado de la Red de Bibliotecas de América Latina y el Caribe includes the holdings of dozens of participating academic libraries from the region, many of which are not represented in Worldcat. 
     
  • Catálogo Colectivo de Impresos Latinoamericanos (CCILA)
    Ongoing effort to record the printed heritage of Latin America, the Philippines and the Caribbean before 1900. As both a bibliography and union catalog, CCILA provides descriptions of surviving works and identifies copies of those works at institutions throughout the Americas and in Europe. The project also records microfilm and digital surrogates. The nearly 100,000 records in the database have been created from 40 transcribed printed bibliographies and from information provided by institutions around the world.
     
  • American history & Culture Online (Sabin Americana Digital Archive)
    Drawn from Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana: A Dictionary of Books Relating to America from Its Discovery to the Present Time, Sabin Americana covers more than 400 years and more than 65,000 volumes from and about North, Central, and South America and the West Indies. The collection includes sermons, political tracts, newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation, literature, highlighting the society, politics, religious beliefs, culture, contemporary opinions, and momentous events.

Important note:  Many subject and discipline based databases that provide important content from and about Latin America, Spain and Portugal are not included in the two lists shown above. Review Databases by Subject to identify key databases for disciplines such as African American Studies, Architecture, Anthropology, Economics, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Latino Studies, Music, Politics, and Sociology, among others.
