Circulating Books

To locate circulating books in Loyola Libraries, try searching in Pegasus utilizing the name of the organization (e.g., Organization of American States) as a subject heading and/or author.  To find books in libraries outside the Loyola system, perform an "Advanced Search" in WorldCat using the same subject heading and/or author.  Limit the search to "Subject" and/or "Author."

 

Periodical Articles

 

Both Westlaw and Lexis provide access to materials published by international and Latin American regional organizations (e.g., World Bank, Organization of American States). See each service's database directory for details.  HeinOnline is a retrospective full-text database of law journals, many of which are international in scope. See the subject lists for Latin American Studies, Criminal Justice, Law, and Business Administration, for a list of other available periodicals databases at Loyola.  Some organizations also offer online access to their publications via their web sites.
