Investigators

Abstract

This proposal will create a computerized bibliography of early printing in Latin America. The Center for Bibliographical Studies at the University of California, Riverside, will create the file in cooperation with major Latin American libraries, in particular the National Library of Mexico. This file will be of assistance to scholars in literature, printing, and languages. Experiments will investigate the means of assuring quality control, searchability, and other new computer techniques for dealing with such catalog files.
