LANIC is pleased to announce the release of an expanded and improved
version of the Latin American Periodicals Tables of Contents (LAPTOC)
database. Hosted on LANIC since 1997, LAPTOC is a database of tables of
contents inputted by the more than 50 institutional members of the ARL
Latin Americanist Research Resources Project (LARRP). Covering more than
800 journals published in Latin America, primarily in the humanities and
social sciences, LAPTOC is now a core
index for Latin American Studies. LAPTOC currently contains citations for
over 220,000 articles from over 14,000 tables of contents.
Major changes and upgrades have been introduced to the user interface
with this latest release, including the addition of mechanisms which
allow users to access and conduct:
- Basic and Advanced Search options
- Boolean Search within and across fields
- Limit Search Results
- Sort results
- Save bibliography
- Search history
- Download citations
- E-mail citations
- Access to journal website when available
The new interface is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
You may consult LAPTOC by clicking
on the "LARRP/ARL Databases" link on the LANIC Home Page.
