Research Guides
We offer tips for searching for eBooks in UW Libraries Search. We also have some eBook collections devoted to Spanish-language literature:
A e-book collection of prose, poetry, and drama composed by women writing in Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Keyword - broadest type of search. Type in the keywords that broadly describe your topic. For example: juan rulfo el llano en llamas. On the results screen choose the Resource Type Print Books and/or eBooks from the left toolbar. This will eliminate any articles that were found.
Title - search for a specific book by title. Type in the first few words of the book title in quotations. For example: "el llano en llamas". On the results screen choose the Resource Type Print Books and/or eBooks from the left toolbar. This will eliminate any book reviews that were found.
Author - search for books written by a specific author. Type in the last name followed by the first name of the author in quotations. For example: "juan rulfo". On the results screen choose the Resource Type Print Books and/or eBooks from the left toolbar. This will eliminate any book reviews and articles that were found.
Note down the library name and call number -- you need this information to locate the book.
We have so many books in our collections that it is hard to browse. We recommend doing a quick keyword or author search online, finding a few call numbers to start with, and then browsing that area.
