Though still hampered by some challenging obstacles, Latin American collection development is not the static, tradition-bound field many believe it to be. Latin American studies librarians have confronted these difficulties head-on and developed strategies to adapt to the field's continuous digital advancements.

Presenting perspectives from several independent Latin American libraries, this collection of new essays covers the history of collecting, current strategies in collection development, collaborative collection development, buying trips, and future trends and new technologies.

Gayle Ann Williams is the Latin American and Caribbean Information Services Librarian/dLOC librarian at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. She also serves as the editor of SALALM’s Bibliography of Latin American and Caribbean Bibliographies. Jana Lee Krentz is the Curator for the Latin American, Iberian and Latinx Collections at Yale University Library. Her research concentration is the 19th and early 20th century Spanish, Brazilian and Portuguese novel, and neo-realism, as well as research education and area studies librarianship.
