Latin American & Caribbean Studies

Duke-UNC Libraries Cooperative Collection

Duke and UNC Cooperative Collections in Latin American Studies
Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill maintain one of the oldest cooperative acquisitions programs in the country in the area of Latin American Studies. This cooperative collections agreement supports the The Consortium in Latin American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University. Both Duke and Carolina acquire core materials from throughout Latin America to support undergraduate study. In addition, both work cooperatively to purchase research-level materials, special formats, and expensive items such as censuses, films, and large documentary microform collections. As a result, the collections are complementary and there is a low rate of duplication. The following maps and lists illustrate our cooperative collecting.
