The University Libraries' acquisitions policy for Hispanic literature and language is intended to support faculty research and all degrees up to and including the Ph.D. with concentrations in Hispanic literature or Hispanic linguistics. The program of Hispanic Literature and Language forms part of the Hispanic and Italian Studies Department.
Languages: Materials are collected primarily in three languages, Spanish, English and Portuguese and to a lesser degree, when appropriate, in Italian. Materials in other languages are acquired only upon request or when they are known to be essential to the study of the field.
Geographical Areas: Spain, Latin America, Spanish-speaking Caribbean, Portugal, Europe (as appropriate).
Chronological Periods: Literary materials are collected from the Mozarabic period in the 10th century to the present (peninsular) and from the colonial period (15th century) to the present in Latin America. Materials are collected on the development of the Spanish and Portuguese languages from the classical and vulgar Latin antecedents and include the core areas of linguistics, i.e. sociolinguistics, historical, descriptive and generative linguistics.
Types of Materials Collected: The collection is primarily comprised of monographs and serials. The collection does, however, continue to expand in a variety of formats such as videotapes, videodiscs, CDs, audiotapes, computer software, and on-line databases. Reference materials such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bibliographic indices are housed in the reference area and are frequently purchased by the Reference Bibliographer at the recommendation of the Bibliographer for Hispanic and Italian Studies.
Scope of Material: Primary literary works, including prose, drama, and poetry; significant critical editions of literary works; literary criticism; literary history; literary correspondence; literary biography; Hispanic linguistics; intellectual history.
Types of Materials Excluded: Textbooks.
