Historians specializing in Latin America use a wide range of electronic tools in their research, publication, and teaching. Quality information for the region is now available in a wide variety of formats, including databases, spreadsheets, CD-ROMs, concept maps, and web sites, created by historians and librarians. Thanks to electronic finding aides, it is now quicker and more convenient to research and to teach students about Latin America’s past. In addition, teachers can bring more of the richness and variety of Latin American culture to their students by using new technologies.
