Thanks to grant funding from the Durham Tech Foundation, the Durham Tech Library now has a brand-new Spanish Language Collection!
Containing nearly 300 titles in print (100 of them brand new!) at the Main Campus Library and over 300 new ebooks/audiobooks available via the Dogwood Digital Library, the Spanish Language Collection is now available to all Durham Tech students, staff, and faculty.
This collection is a complement to our Spanish language courses (SPA) at Durham Tech and provides a variety of reading material by some of the Spanish-speaking world’s most celebrated authors and some books in translation, including collections of short stories, poetry, and children’s books.
There’s something here for everyone! Keep reading for more information about our print titles, our digital titles, and our new and updated Library Resource Guides (LibGuides).
Print Titles
Many of our Spanish-language materials can be found in this list from the Library Catalog and are also on on display for browsing upstairs in the Main Campus Library.
Digital Titles
Durham Tech now has 2 virtual locations for finding digital Spanish-language items.
The first is by searching all ebooks via the NCLIVE Ebook collections (just hit enter).
You can then limit your search results by Language.
Newly added is the Dogwood Digital Library, which contains over 300 items in Spanish both ebook and e-audiobooks. You will need to log in with your Durham Tech ID to access all of the titles, approximately 70 are reserved for Durham Tech users only.
To find Spanish language items, select a Collection or Subject and use the Language option to Select Spanish.
New & Updated LibGuides for Spanish Materials
The Spanish Language, Literature, and Culture research guide has been updated with links to some of the new materials.
A new research guide titled Spanish-language Literature by Origin of Author contains links to Spanish-language items at Durham Tech arranged by geographic origin of the author – including Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Europe.
Many thanks to the Durham Tech Foundation for making this collection possible – we hope you will find it both useful and enjoyable!
