Here are some useful tips that will make finding these materials easier:

  • Type your search terms in the language of interest.

  • Search in English, but limit your results to a particular language in a search field.

  • Diacritics may or may not be detected in your search. Type the search word without the diacritic. Example: El Niño — type as El Nino.

  • Some databases search the full text of an article while most only search the abstract. If the article is in Spanish, the abstract will probably only be in English.

  • Looking in databases such as DOAJ and EBSCOhost may be benefitial.
